Tarkowska, E. Culture of the Present Time in Global
and Local Perspectives.
Abstract:
Today Time has become one of the basic categories of the
interdisciplinary discourse devoted to society and culture, their present
situation and modern transformations. The concept of the present
time culture reflects the main peculiarities of modern temporality and
a special role of time for culture and society: typical phenomena of
time and space compression and their consequences for individuals
and society; change in a status of the Present, Past and Future; forms
of time perception and how new information and communication
technologies as well as consumer culture influence them; new
civilization ‘diseases’ caused by the fuss and new stresses related to the
time perception, new threats and suggestions to resist them; influence
of changing experience and time conceptions on social life and
transpersonal relationships. In this article the present time culture
is viewed as a global phenomenon which also has a local ‘Polish’
version. The author raises a question whether it is a solely Polish or
eastern European post-communist peculiarity.
Keywords:
cultural studies, interdisciplinary discourse, social and cultural time, time compression, extended present time, present time culture, modern age, new communication technologies, consumer culture, need for a slow pace
