Out of Time, or Anderson's National Temporality Revisited

Out of Time? Music, Consciousness States and Neuropharmacological Mechanisms of an Altered Temporality

Drug-induced altered temporality is a well-known effect of cannabis action that is utilised from musicians and music listeners for music appreciation since the early days of jazz. Cannabis has an influence on timing processes at short time scales of hundreds of milliseconds as O’Leary et al (2003) have shown in their tapping studies, proving evidence of an altered cerebellar functioning. This p...

Physical Time and Intrinsic Temporality

Physical theories distinguish two notions of time: reversible, homogeneous parameter time (relativity theory and quantum mechanics) and irreversible, directed time (thermodynamics). Both concepts differ fundamentally from what we define implicitly by using the tenses and temporal adverbs in language. The tempora past, present, and future hinge upon one uniquely exposed moment: the now. The now ...

About time: Temporality in interaction

Ever since the inception of the modern computer, researchers and designers alike have been interested in the effects of system delays on users. The current study was conducted in order to examine the most central issues to the field of temporality in interaction, and presents a consolidation of a selection of publications on the subject. A distinction between two types of interactive systems, d...

Technology Use: Time-In or Time-Out

This paper investigates evolving technology use by applying the distinction of time-in and time-out usage. This distinction describes how uses of technology within the life-world (i.e. the ordinary, the un-reflected) can be punctuated by time-out use when a user takes out time to consciously use or reflect on a medium. Data was collected through a longitudinal field study involving focus groups...
