Today! Hartmut Rosa on Temporal Alienation

The final event in our "Historical Anxiety" series

Event Time: 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UK/8pm CET
“The End of History and the Loss of Temporal Resonance”
Hartmut Rosa in conversation with Nicholas Halmi

We round off our “Historical Anxiety” series in style with Hartmut Rosa, one of the world’s most influential social theorists, as our guest speaker.

Modern human subjects necessarily operate on three levels of temporality simultaneously: every-day temporality, biographical time (life-time), and the historical age or epoch. In this event, the renowned sociologist Hartmut Rosa will argue that in late-modern society, owing to processes and pressures of acceleration, the three levels of time have become fragmented and disintegrated; temporal resonance has given way to temporal alienation. This leads to individual as well as collective disconnection from past and future generations, and hence to historical anxiety: the feeling that history has stopped moving forward.
