The Anthropology of Time by Alfred Gell

Time - relentless, ever-present but intangible and the single element over which human beings have no absolute control - has long proved a puzzle.
'Arguing forcefully against a number of distinguished anthropologists and his own earlier work, [Alfred Gell] has produced a critical review of the literature which is original, disturbing and sometimes brilliant..'MAN'Gell takes a broad sweep and his book is likely to be the standard one in this field for some time to come.'Cosmos'... Gell's work is most likely a probe, but - I must add - a very brilliant one.'Ibero-Americana Pragensia
Alfred Gell formerly taught at the London School of Economics
