3. TELLING TIME IN CULTURE
Leisure is still a monstrous puzzle for everyone nurtured on the Protestant ethic (Eugene C. Kennedy, A Tie for Love)
Jose de Alencar, Brazilian novelist, Five Minutes : from beginning of the story where the principal character misses his bus by just five minutes because of his habit of always being late. On the later bus he meets his future wife.
1) European Style of Time Concept: punctuality
(1) the English, the Swiss, the Germans : a common courtesy.
(2) the North Americans : a strong choleric sense of the value of time.
(3) the France : more choleric-sanguine.
(4) the Japanese : more choleric-phlegmatic, but not so only in business (punctuality : time-oriented culture)
(5) Daniel Bell's term : future-oriented
[Con.] Time-oriented culture
2) West Style of Time Concept: emotive temperaments
(1) event-centered habit:
measure time by the sequence of significant events rather than by uniform divisions of clock time.
(2) John Mbiti : traditional time-reckoning pattern in Africa
1. Akamba, other African society :
governed by phenomena rather than mathematics.
2. It does not matter whether the month is 25 or 35 days long, or whether the year is 330 or 380 days.
(3) such experience-oriented societies are more sanguine (or sanguine-melancholic) focusing on the importance of the moment and sense of completeness inherent in the event taking place.
1. they are interested in who's there, what's going on, and how one can embellish the event with sound, color, light, body movement, touch, etc.
2. they are interested in time and schedule \\\"Try to buy an airplane ticket in Latin America while one of the ticket agents is telling a story to others, and you will sense this acutely.\\\"[Con.] the differences between the event-oriented and the future-oriented (Marvin Mayers)
