This paper enquires into the history of clock-time through a critical engagement with Paul Glennie and Nigel Thrift's Shaping the Day.

This approach is presented through a four-fold critical engagement with Glennie and Thrift's book assessing theoretical shortcomings, definitional problems, normative commitments and historical method
