Social Event as a Way of Measuring Time

The article aims at conceptualization of a social event as a way of measuring social time. The idea of the discreteness of social reality and the uniqueness of the event determined through its consequences constitute the epistemological basis of thinking about an event in this capacity. To achieve her goal, the author addresses the texts by Georg Simmel, David Carr, and Alain Badiou. Based on the work done, the author interprets social time as a narrative of a priori nature and links time measurement with the designation of events.
