The aim of this interdisciplinary study is to reconstruct the evolution of our changing conceptions of time in the light of scientific discoveries. It will adopt a new perspective and organize the material around three central themes, which run through our history of time reckoning: cosmology and regularity; stasis and flux; symmetry and asymmetry. It is the physical criteria that humans choose ¿ relativistic effects and time-symmetric equations or dynamic-kinematic effects and asymmetric conditions ¿ that establish our views on the nature of time. This book will defend a dynamic rather than a static view of time.

Esta dissertação aborda as formas de viver o tempo em meio ao cotidiano da capitania de São Paulo, entre finais do século XVIII e início do século XIX. Chamamos essas formas, genericamente, de vivências e experiências, e buscamos em meio a uma pluralidade de tempos sociais sintetizar o que é, em geral, referido como tempo histórico. Para tanto, os capítulos se dedicam a diferentes formas de viver o tempo: os tempos religiosos, os tempos envolvidos nos ritmos administrativos, questões relativas à morte, padrões, rotinas e formas de dimensionar o tempo, conceitos de tempo elaborados em obras de historiografias do século XVIII. / This master thesis demonstrates ways to experience time in São Paulos captaincy everyday life, between late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. We call, generically, that ways as experience and perception, and seek among a multiplicity of social times to sinthesize what is commonly referred to as historical time. Therefore the following chapters will be about different ways of experience time: religions times, adminstrative times and its rhythms, questions about death, patterns, routines and ways to measure time, concepts of time in 18th-century historians.
