Many periodization schemes have their roots in Europe, reflecting specific national, religious, or historiographical traditions and teleologies. In the course of the colonial encounter, they were able to establish their own new ideas of time in America, Asia and Africa. Such culturally determined periodization schemes require a systematic comparison in order to determine their particularities in the respective context and their contingency. An interdisciplinary and transregional approach makes it possible to develop categories of historical analysis that go beyond nationally bound patterns of interpretation. By looking at case studies from different parts of the world, this volume seeks to uncover some of the dynamics.

Although numerous disciplines recognize multiple ways of conceptualizing time, Stefan Tanaka argues that scholars still overwhelmingly operate on chronological and linear Newtonian or classical time that emerged during the Enlightenment. This short, approachable book implores the humanities and humanistic social sciences to actively embrace the richness of different times that are evident in non-modern societies and have become common in several scientific fields throughout the twentieth century. Tanaka first offers a history of chronology by showing how the social structures built on clocks and calendars gained material expression. Tanaka then proposes that we can move away from this chronology by considering how contemporary scientific understandings of time might be adapted to reconceive the present and pasts. This opens up a conversation that allows for the possibility of other ways to know about and re-present pasts. A multiplicity of times will help us broaden the historical horizon by embracing the heterogeneity of our lives and world via rethinking the complex interaction between stability, repetition, and change. This history without chronology also allows for incorporating the affordances of digital media.
