Reconfiguration of the Temporal Paradigm in Contemporary Digital Civilization

Abstract (English)

This paper analyzes the fundamental transformation of temporal perception and experience in the context of accelerated digitalization of contemporary society. The research builds upon the theoretical contributions of Hartmut Rosa regarding social acceleration and Manuel Castells' concept of "timeless time" in network society. The study explores how digital technologies reconfigure human relationship with time, generating new temporal paradigms characterized by simultaneity, instantaneity, and fragmentation, phenomena analyzed by Jonathan Crary and Judy Wajcman in their works on attention and temporal pressure.
The main objectives include: (1) mapping the changes in temporal experience induced by digital media, using Paul Virilio's conceptual framework on speed and spatiotemporal compression; (2) analyzing the impact of these changes on identity and memory, developing Sherry Turkle's perspectives; (3) examining the ethical implications of temporal compression through Bernard Stiegler's theories on technology and temporality; and (4) proposing a conceptual framework inspired by Edmund Husserl's temporal phenomenology, adapted to the digital context.
The relevance of this research lies in its contribution to understanding a fundamental dimension of the human condition in the digital age, continuing the critical tradition of the Frankfurt School and recent developments in digital anthropology proposed by Daniel Miller and Heather Horst.
