| Summary: | At the aftermath of the first national lock down in France, it has been argued that our attitudes towards time have undergone profound changes. This thesis is discussed based on an empirical study of the variations of the feeling of running out of time in three periods: before the COVID-19 crisis, during the first lock down (which was particularly strict), and during the second lock down (which was less restrictive). Statistical analysis of data from four large-scale surveys shows a general decline of time-squeeze feelings during the first lock down, followed by a partial return to normal during the second lock down. The feeling of running out of time therefore had a two-month eclipse before regaining a central place in the daily life. The persistence of attitudes towards time is also manifested in the remarkable stability of the social polarization of the time-squeeze feeling, which primarily concerns, both in lock down and in “normal” times, the upper classes, the middle-aged and women. These results take on meaning in a sociological approach to attitudes towards time, conceived as one of the primary components of individuals’ relationship to the world that is anchored in class and gender relationships. |
