Description

Explore the complex relationship between culture, society, and the dark side of life. Night-time and Sleep in Asia and the West provides a deep look into how ideas and practices regarding sleep are constantly changing across different global societies. This book examines how our daily and nightly routines are shaped by political struggle and social influence. Through comparative case studies from countries in both Asia and Europe, this work investigates how various groups influence our time. From trade unions and political parties to entrepreneurs and school boards, many stakeholders have a direct interest in the timing of our lives. The text looks at the social forces that decide when shops open and close, when schools and factories start their days, and how many hours people are required to work and sleep. This anthropological study offers a unique perspective on the social structures that govern our rest and activity. It is an essential read for those interested in the sociology of time and the cultural variations of sleep patterns between the East and the West.
