Argentinian Time Culture explores the unique ways Argentina perceives and uses time, revealing how deeply ingrained cultural values shape daily life. It highlights how social timing differs significantly from more punctual cultures, influencing everything from late-night dinners to flexible work schedules. One intriguing aspect is the ‘sobremesa, ‘ the lingering at the table after a meal, emphasizing social bonds over strict schedules. The book argues that rather than being about inefficiency, Argentinian time culture reflects a complex system of social prioritization rooted in historical, social, and economic realities.
The book examines the historical roots of these customs, influenced by European immigration and indigenous traditions, and how they manifest in contemporary society. It progresses through sections that explore the core concepts of social timing, the historical evolution of Argentinian time perception, and the contemporary manifestations of these values in various settings.
Through historical documents, sociological studies, and personal narratives, the book provides a comprehensive portrayal of Argentina’s cultural identity and offers valuable insights for cross-cultural communication, international business, and a deeper understanding of Latin American societies.
