圖書描述

What is time made of? We might balk at such a question, and reply that time is not made of anything—it is an abstract and universal phenomenon. In Making Time, Yulia Frumer upends this assumption, using changes in the conceptualization of time in Japan to show that humans perceive time as constructed and concrete.

In the mid-sixteenth century, when the first mechanical clocks arrived in Japan from Europe, the Japanese found them interesting but useless, because they failed to display time in units that changed their length with the seasons, as was customary in Japan at the time. In 1873, however, the Japanese government adopted the Western equal-hour system as well as Western clocks. Given that Japan carried out this reform during a period of rapid industrial development, it would be easy to assume that time consciousness is inherent to the equal-hour system and a modern lifestyle, but Making Time suggests that punctuality and time-consciousness are equally possible in a society regulated by a variable-hour system, arguing that this reform occurred because the equal-hour system better reflected a new conception of time — as abstract and universal—which had been developed in Japan by a narrow circle of astronomers, who began seeing time differently as a result of their measurement and calculation practices. Over the course of a few short decades this new way of conceptualizing time spread, gradually becoming the only recognized way of treating time.

本書的主要論點是明治日本換用西式計時係統不是齣於實用需要，而是因為固定、抽象、普世的時間觀念的廣泛流傳，而該觀念在德川時期就已被日本天文學傢發現，後又被知識分子和工匠發揚光大。雖然本書強調計時科技轉變中的本土因素和偶然性，意在藉此推翻社會建構理論或者目的論史學，但是作者也無法否認西式計時係統的最終勝利是由於其與“科學”“理性”“國際化”等概念之間（被建構的）聯係；那麼日本對於“科學”的追求不還是歸於船堅炮利的西方帶來的衝擊嗎？這種對於本土/外來、實用/理論、偶然/必然的強行二分法和虛假解構（其與強行融閤二者的和稀泥研究一體兩麵）也是睏擾很多科技史的問題。相較而言，對於德川時期多重時間性的文化史研究也許更能幫助理解一種不同的時間性理論和經曆。
