Abstract
Interrelated epistemes of time are indivisible from their manifestations within institutional structures, communication networks, societal processes and everyday life. This chapter identifies four materializations of time (hegemony, conflict, crisis and rupture) and considers their time-epistemic properties (epochality, time reckoning, temporality, coevalness/allochronism). The discussion will also reflect upon the time-related dimensions of globalization, global modernity and global capitalism.
