시간에 대한 인류학적 연구 고찰 = 전통적 시간과 근대적 시간의 대조를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sociological and anthropological studies about various notion of time have been done during the past centuries. Actually, most of the anthropological studies are included research of the time and space. Because anthropologist`s studies by doing fieldwork are included the locals` experiences of time, either directly or implicitly. This paper is a review of anthropological studies of time focusing on contrast of traditional time and modern time. In particular, I discussed about a dichotomous way of thinking between traditional time and modern time, and about anthropological perspective of ritual, time, calendars. Anthropologists have often been described a dichotomous notion of time between traditional time and modern time, making divisions between ``traditional societies`` and ``modern societies.`` However, we do not need to see only in terms of contrast between western notion of time and traditional (non-western) notion of time. Anthropologists were able to experience that linear-quantitative notion of western time is not absolute, and were able to recognize about the relativity of time, and were able to write ethnographies about time. But Still, anthropologists did not a more systematic analysis of time. Now anthropological studies of time experience in the respective societies, and ritual time-daily time, sacred time-profane time, personal time-social time, etc. are needed.
