Abstract
The clash of temporal cultures implicit in modern imperial relationships is further evident in the next chapter, in which Eve Morrison asks how far ‘Irish time’ was irreplaceably lost through the processes of modernisation, war and revolution. In Ireland, the modern standard was often seen as a characteristic of English superiority. By turning attention to the expression of day-to-day existence in the Irish revolutionary movement, this chapter makes a fundamental connection between these high debates about the organisation of modern society and the experience of time in a period of violent upheaval. The clash between that lived existence and the increasing attempts of the British state to control daily life through time-measures such as the curfew was written into the politics of nationalist revolution. The quotidian experience of revolution gave Irish nationalism a sense of a living, albeit violently jarred, human present. Ironically, in the end, the independent state found Greenwich Time convenient and attempts to revive ‘Irish time’ tended to get nowhere – at least in Irish national political debate. The experience of the present was thus politicised; but the ordinary experience of time could also be mundanely local, in spite of those high debates in parliament and the early Dáils.
