Aleida Assmann's study tells an expansive story of the shifting forms of time consciousness since the eighteenth century, representing both a culmination of her previous work on cultural memory and a bold intervention into contemporary debates on modern temporality. In doing so, Is Time Out of Joint? combines pithiness with creativity.
