El peso del tiempo

For a decade we have been experiencing the slow farewell to the great post-war generation, the one that starred in the Transition and that has occupied all areas of power (political, economic, cultural, media) during the last forty years. This generation is being replaced by the sons and daughters of democracy. It is a change of people, but above all of time, of the time imprinted on each of us. It is a change in values, hierarchies and vital rhythms. It is a change in lived experiences that transforms our behavior and our vision of the world and its functioning. And this, in turn, has a full impact on politics, on the relationship of individuals with it and on the role it plays in collective life. We are entering a new world, which has left security and slowness behind to embrace constant change and acceleration as dominant values of our society. This is the time of the self, an impatient self that circulates through a fragmented scene in the midst of great confusion. To learn to navigate it, you must understand it, and for this there is no better guide than this book.
