Abstract

This article explores issues, in the Durkheimian tradition, to do with sacred time, rhythms and dynamics, collective memory, collective vision and time as a category. It discusses the work of Durkheim himself but also that of Hubert, Mauss and Halbwachs and, more recently, Nora and Maffesoli. It brings out important differences in views in the Durkheimian group. It also links their theoretical and practical interests, above all through their interest in sacred time. For this reason it begins with Hubert's essay on how the sacred `seeds itself within time', and ends with modern `semi-sacred' time.
