Daylight saving Federal legislation Calendar Time measurements Sociocultural factors Time perception 21st century (Literary period) ab: The article explores the concept and experience of time through the lens of Daylight Saving Time (DST), contrasting life in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Cairo, Egypt. It traces the history of DST, originating from William Willett’s 1907 proposal to save daylight and energy by adjusting clocks seasonally, and discusses contemporary debates such as the U.S. Sunshine Protection Act, which aims to make DST permanent. The narrative reflects on cultural differences in time perception, the psychological effects of memory on time’s passage, and the challenges of adjusting to time changes across distant places. It also considers how ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, understood time cyclically rather than linearly, highlighting the tension between natural rhythms and modern standardized timekeeping. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Nonfiction Work src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of New England Review (10531297) is the property of Middlebury College Publications and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
