这篇文章特别关注时钟在社会生活中的作用，探讨了我们用来“看时间”的习惯。我认为，虽然时钟通常看起来是一种无所不包的社会协调工具，但它实际上未能协调我们与目前正在发生的一些最紧迫的生态变化。然后，我利用哲学方法来探索可能出现的问题，利用德里达和哈拉威对社会变革的理解，以提出一种相当非常规的，但可能更准确的模式，在气候变化，资源枯竭和大规模灭绝的背景下计算时间。
Focusing particularly on the role of the clock in s ocial life, this article explores the conventions we use to ‘tell the time’. I argue that although cl ock time generally appears to be an all encompassing tool for social coordination, it is ac tually failing to coordinate us with some of the most pressing ecological changes currently taking p lace. Utilizing philosophical approaches to performativity to explore what might be going wrong, I then draw on Derrida and Haraway’s understandings of social change in order to suggest a fairly unconventional, but perhaps more accurate, mode of reckoning time in the context of climate change, resource depletion and mass extinctions.
