Making Time 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书图书描述

What is time made of? We might balk at such a question, and reply that time is not made of anything—it is an abstract and universal phenomenon. In Making Time, Yulia Frumer upends this assumption, using changes in the conceptualization of time in Japan to show that humans perceive time as constructed and concrete.

In the mid-sixteenth century, when the first mechanical clocks arrived in Japan from Europe, the Japanese found them interesting but useless, because they failed to display time in units that changed their length with the seasons, as was customary in Japan at the time. In 1873, however, the Japanese government adopted the Western equal-hour system as well as Western clocks. Given that Japan carried out this reform during a period of rapid industrial development, it would be easy to assume that time consciousness is inherent to the equal-hour system and a modern lifestyle, but Making Time suggests that punctuality and time-consciousness are equally possible in a society regulated by a variable-hour system, arguing that this reform occurred because the equal-hour system better reflected a new conception of time — as abstract and universal—which had been developed in Japan by a narrow circle of astronomers, who began seeing time differently as a result of their measurement and calculation practices. Over the course of a few short decades this new way of conceptualizing time spread, gradually becoming the only recognized way of treating time.

本书的主要论点是明治日本换用西式计时系统不是出于实用需要，而是因为固定、抽象、普世的时间观念的广泛流传，而该观念在德川时期就已被日本天文学家发现，后又被知识分子和工匠发扬光大。虽然本书强调计时科技转变中的本土因素和偶然性，意在借此推翻社会建构理论或者目的论史学，但是作者也无法否认西式计时系统的最终胜利是由于其与“科学”“理性”“国际化”等概念之间（被建构的）联系；那么日本对于“科学”的追求不还是归于船坚炮利的西方带来的冲击吗？这种对于本土/外来、实用/理论、偶然/必然的强行二分法和虚假解构（其与强行融合二者的和稀泥研究一体两面）也是困扰很多科技史的问题。相较而言，对于德川时期多重时间性的文化史研究也许更能帮助理解一种不同的时间性理论和经历。
