| Summary: | The work at hand explores the successive chronometrisation of public space using the example of Vienna's public clocks from the middle of the 19th century until today ... On the one hand it deals with the "exterior chronometrisation", that is the visible aggregation of the infrastructure of time and the construction of different kinds of clocks ... On the other hand it deals with the "interior chronometrisation" which means social, psychological and cultural aspects of the perception of time and their contextualisation in phenomena of scaling and standardisation on a local basis to a world scale. The actual trend of visualising public time to the split second marks the (temporary) end of the development which shows the speedup of all areas of life in a visible and sensible way. |
