Tiempo-regla, tiempo-recurso y tiempo-sentido: aspectos de la estructuración del tiempo social

Abstract

Assuming that there is a correlation between social structures and temporal structures, this article proposes a classification of social times derived from a concrete notion of social structure. First, some similar previous proposals are analyzed; second, an specific concept of social structure is proposed, taking as a starting point the theory of A. Giddens but developing it autonomously; then three general forms of structuring social time are classified: time-rule, time-resource, time-sense. We conclude with more general considerations on the link between structural order and temporal order.
