Abstract

The story of the Ottoman Empire's initial encounter with 'modern' time, told through the clock towers of nineteen century Istanbul, tells us about the beginnings of a regime of temporal rigidity that is nowadays drawing to a close with the blurring of work and leisure under late capitalism.
