In this book leading sociologists explore how in our digital age of
connectivity, temporal acceleration and real-time simultaneity
impact personal experience, relations between generations and
institutional processes. The authors analyse the entanglement
between past and future and explain how our ability to conceive the
future is based not only upon the memory of the past, but also on
forecasts about environmental crisis. Bringing memory and future
studies into a unique dialogue, they highlight the crucial role of
the past elaboration processes in freeing the future from the
weight of trauma and renewing the ability to hope. Offering a
sophisticated and innovative social theory in a burgeoning field,
this is a much-needed intervention to the current ‘temporal
crisis’ of social life and sociological debates.
