Hartmut Rosa is professor of sociology and political science at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena. He is the author of Alienation and Acceleration: Towards a Critical Theory of Late-Modern Temporality and coeditor, with William E. Scheuerman, High-Speed Society: Social Acceleration, Power, and Modernity. Jonathan Trejo-Mathys (1979-2014) was assistant professor of philosophy at Boston College.
Hartmut Rosa advances an account of the temporal structure of society from the perspective of critical theory. He identifies three categories of change in the tempo of modern social life: technological acceleration, evident in transportation, communication, and production; the acceleration of social change, reflected in cultural knowledge, social institutions, and personal relationships; and acceleration in the pace of life, which happens despite the expectation that technological change should increase an individual's free time. According to Rosa, both the structural and cultural aspects of our institutions and practices are marked by the "shrinking of the present," a decreasing time period during which expectations based on past experience reliably match the future. When this phenomenon combines with technological acceleration and the increasing pace of life, time seems to flow ever faster, making our relationships to each other and the world fluid and problematic. It is as if we are standing on "slipping slopes," a steep social terrain that is itself in motion and in turn demands faster lives and technology. As Rosa deftly shows, this self-reinforcing feedback loop fundamentally determines the character of modern life.

從係統性,可讀性,邏輯性和切實性來講,這本書無疑都是經典之作。雖然第四部分最後有點反復,但不影響整體格局。Rosa估計也知道現在搞學術的人沒幾個有時間好好讀書(這甚至就是他全書論題的一個延伸!)他還苦心孤詣的在最後用瞭20多頁把整本書的內容總結瞭一遍。如果在加速度社會中想瞭解加速度理論,又因為社會的加速度沒有時間精讀這本關於加速度書的朋友,可以直接讀它的最後一章。那的確是一個很好的總結,但這樣可能會對某些概念無法掌握透徹,這也是不可避免的副作用。
評分似乎完全忽略瞭人類學對時間性的研究。社會理論傢對時間性的想象真是進展的太慢太慢瞭,按照老z的說法,這多少要歸咎於他們自己的史觀。

評分很清晰。可惜我又去看瞭維希留
