What does it mean to live in time, between the unforeseeable and
the irreversible? In The Varieties of Temporal Experience, Michael
Jackson demonstrates the significance of a phenomenology of time
for ethnography, philosophy, and history through a multifaceted
consideration of the gap between our cultural representations of
temporality and the bewildering multiplicity of our experience of
being-in-time. Jackson explores temporality in a subjective mode as
a form of literary anthropology. The first part of the book tells
the story of John Joseph Pawelka, whose 1910 escape from prison and
subsequent disappearance became one of New Zealand's great unsolved
mysteries, discussing what it reveals about the interplay of
popular stories, hidden histories, and media narratives in
constructing allegories of national and moral identity. In the
second, Jackson reflects on journeys up and down the islands of New
Zealand, touching on the ways that personal stories are interwoven
with social and historical events. Throughout this groundbreaking
book, Jackson juxtaposes philosophy, history, and ethnography in an
attempt to do justice to the extraordinary variety of temporal
experience, at the same time exploring the ethical and existential
quandaries that arise from the complexity of lived time.
