Have the ways we understand the past and the future--and their relationship to the present--been reordered? The past, it seems, has returned with a vengeance: as aggressive nostalgia, as traumatic memory, or as atavistic origin narratives rooted in nation, race, or tribe. The future, meanwhile, has lost its utopian glamor, with the belief in progress and hope for a better future eroded by fears of ecological collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this provocative book, Aleida Assmann argues that the apparently solid moorings of our temporal orientation have collapsed within the span of a generation. To understand this profound cultural crisis, she reconstructs the rise and fall of what she calls \"time regime of modernity\" that underpins notions of modernization and progress, a shared understanding that is now under threat. \u003ci\u003eIs \u003c\/i\u003eTime Out of Joint? assesses the deep change in the temporality of modern Western culture as it relates to our historical experience, historical theory, and our life-world of shared experience, explaining what we have both gained and lost during this profound transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleida Assmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501742434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501742439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press and Cornell Universi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Aleida Assmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979758239999,"sku":"9781501742439","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82a56760-cdf7-4411-abac-0d5706f625bd.jpg?v=1683246800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/is-time-out-of-joint-aleida-assmann-9781501742439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
