Funded Activity Summary

The Sounds of Time. In our age of rapid technological acceleration, understanding how time shapes social life and cultural production is an urgent task. This project aims to write an important new chapter in time’s history from the origins of the mechanical musical clock in fourteenth-century Europe to the spread of European time across the world by missionaries in the sixteenth century. Traversing histories of science, religion, and time, the project expects to be the first sonic history of time, and to develop innovative transdisciplinary approaches to the global history of material culture. It aims to benefit Australian culture by providing a richer history of the origins of time measurement, opening up alternative visions of how we might live in time now.
