Description: Françoise Hartog explores crucial moments of change in society's 'regimes of historicity', or its ways of relating to the past, present, and future. Inspired by Hannah Arendt, Reinhart Koselleck, and Paul Ricoeur, he analyses a broad range of texts to track and explore changing perspectives on time, including today's presentism.
