[Th]

In contrast to the measurable and calculated notion of time or chronology, temporality is concerned with the secular or routinized way in which a sequence of events, a kind of history, is physically experienced by those who live through them or experience them. Thus the passing of time is treated not as a neutral dimension but rather as being constituted by social practices. The French historian Braudel suggested that different temporal scales could be recognized (events; cycles or conjunctures; and the longue dureé), while Ricoeur contended that historical narratives are ‘allegories of temporality’ that use a discursive mode to convey something of the experience of time.
