SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing
and relative ime is not a uniormphenomenon It is a social constructmade o belies scientific knowledgeand political experiment It is also astory told by theologians historiansphilosophers and astrophysicists
Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing
and relative ime is not a uniormphenomenon It is a social constructmade o belies scientific knowledgeand political experiment It is also astory told by theologians historiansphilosophers and astrophysicists
Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

SYLVIE ANNE GOLDBERG
Te clepsydra is an ancient water clockand serves as the primary metaphoror this examination o Jewish concep-tions o time rom antiquity to thepresent Just as the flow o water issubject to a number o variables suchas temperature and pressure waterclocks mark a time that is shifing

Consequently Clepsydra is a culturalhistory divided in two parts narratedtime and measured time recountedtime and counted time absolute timeand ordered time It is through this
dialog that Sylvie Anne Goldbergchallenges the idea o a unified Judeo-Christian time and asks ldquoWhat isJewish timerdquo She consults biblical andrabbinic sources and reers to medi-eval and modern texts to understandthe different sorts o consciousness otime ound in Judaism In Jewish timeGoldberg argues past present anduture are intertwined and compriseone perpetual narrative

over the course o successive regimesthere was an evolving enterprise systemthat had to balance the interests o theMexican national elite state and localgovernments large oreign corpora-tions and individual oreign entrepre-neurs During and afer the Revolutionthese groups were joined by organizedlabor and organized peasants Concen-trating on the three most importantsectors o the Mexican economymining agriculture and railroads and
employing a series o case studies o thecareers o prominent Mexican businesspeople and the operations o large US-owned ranching and mining companiesWasserman effectively demonstratesthat Mexicans in act controlled theireconomy rom the 983089983096983096983088s through 983089983097983092983088oreigners did not exploit the countryand Mexicans established sometimesshakily sometimes unplanned a systemo relations between oreigners eliteand government (and later unions and
