Abstract

The general aim of this paper is to show how time as some sort of transcendental dimension of capital has become more prominent throughout history. It is not only visible according to various factors mentioned in texts, but as well, in deliberation of numerous theorists, such as Manuel Castells, Pierrea Bourdieua, Peter Burkea and others. Thereby, if one is to upgrade Bourdieua’s theory of capital types, one can attribute time as transcendental dimension of capital having in mind ‘intangibility’ and well as the meaning time has for people; especially if is one pays attention to the fact that time, apart from previous historic eras, does not “pass” any more – instead it is “used”. Furthermore, when analyzing Castells theory, it is important to note how time is noticeably connected to space. Thereby, one can also explain and analyze the importance of time through various dichotomies addressed in this paper, pending whether is it related to a village or a city, economic activity and people status inside those economic activities. In this way, it is evident how important is working and leisure time in growing sociology of work, sociology of industrialization and sociology of leisure.
