- Abstract
Time is a symbolic means that enables the coordination between subjectivities and social systems in late modernity. In Chile, the study of social time constitute and emerging field with challenges which need to be addressed in order to interpret some of the problems posed by the organization of time in advanced capitalist societies. This article aims to advance a conceptual reflection of the complexity of social time and an empirical approach to its subjective dimension by describing the results of a study on the temporal perspectives of Chileans. This study shows that time is organized at a subjective level according to qualitative parameters that are socially heterogeneous, that diverge between social groups, that have effects on behavior, and that are strongly constrained by social structure. This paper aims to contribute to consolidate a field of study on social time in Chile and to stress the explanatory potential of time to understand current changes in Chilean society.
