Material Histories of Time opens a dialogue between these two approaches by taking monumental clocks, table clocks, portable watches, carriage clocks, and other forms of timekeeping as the starting point of a joint reflection of specialists of the history of horology together with scholars studying the social and cultural history of time. The contributions range from the apparition of the first timekeeping mechanical systems in the Middle Ages to the first evidence of industrialization in the 18th and 19th centuries.  a8 contributions in English, 6 in French. 4aClocks and watchesxHistory. 4aTimexSociological aspects.1 aBernasconi, Gianenrico.1 aThurigen, Susanne, d1986- 0aObject studies in art history ;vv. 3.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oNK7486 .M38 2020pPNLIB21063047r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c3234d3234
