Excellent- More about Rethinking Historical Time: New Approaches to Presentism
The dominant Western time regime has shifted towards a present-oriented regime called 'presentism' composed of multiple and percolating temporalities. This book explores the epistemological consequences of presentism for the study of past and discusses the traditional assumptions that underpin research on historical time. It includes an analysis of presentism and case studies on the variability of different forms of time in contemporary material culture.

For the past two centuries, the dominant Western time regime has been future-oriented and based on the linear, progressive, and homogeneous concept of time. Over the last few decades, there has been a shift towards a new, present-oriented regime or 'presentism,' made up of multiple and percolating temporalities.
Rethinking Historical Time engages with this change of paradigm, providing a timely overview of cutting-edge interdisciplinary approaches to this new temporal condition. Marek Tamm and Laurent Olivier have brought together an international team of scholars working in history, anthropology, archaeology, geography, philosophy, literature, and visual studies to rethink the epistemological consequences of presentism for the study of the past and to discuss critically the traditional assumptions that underpin research on historical time.
Beginning with an analysis of presentism, the contributors move on to explore in historical and critical terms the idea of multiple temporalities, before presenting a series of case studies on the variability of different forms of time in contemporary material culture.
The book offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the changing nature of time, challenging traditional assumptions and providing new insights into the complex and multifaceted phenomenon of historical time. It will be of interest to scholars and students in history, anthropology, archaeology, geography, philosophy, literature, and visual studies, as well as anyone interested in the broader implications of the changing temporal landscape.
