Although we continue to use concepts inherited from a "historicist" viewpoint, a notion of time articulated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the actual construction of time in which we live in today, which shapes our perceptions, experiences, and actions, is no longer historicist. Without fully realizing it, we now inhabit a new, unnamed space in which the "closed future" and "ever-available past" (a past we have not managed to leave behind) converge to produce an "ever-broadening present of simultaneities." This profound change to a key dimension of our existence has complex consequences for the way in which we think about ourselves and our relation to the material world. At the same time, the ubiquity of digital media has eliminated our tactile sense of physical space, altering our perception of our world. Gumbrecht draws on his mastery of the philosophy of language to enrich his everyday observations, traveling to Disneyland, a small town in Louisiana, and the center of Vienna to produce striking sketches of our broad presence in the world. 410 0$aInsurrections: Critical Studies in Religion, Politics, and Culture 606 $aSpace and time$y21st century 606 $aCivilization, Modern 615 0$aSpace and time 615 0$aCivilization, Modern 676 $a190 700 $aGumbrecht$b Hans Ulrich$0170658 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827638903321 996 $aOur Broad Present$93961986 997 $aUNINA
