ABSTRACT

In our increasingly connected and atemporal culture, one that regularly alters, re-
organizes, and re-adjusts, realms are constructed which, in their very untimeliness,
establish the eccentric historiographic perceptions of our time. Under duress from
state of the art technology and globalization, we are reconciled with a condition
called Future Now in which we dwell on a present that we transform
unceasingly within the networked channel. This paper presents the concept of
Atemporalityas a problem in the philosophy of history to better understand the
dynamics of history and futurity. It deals with how this new network culture both
defines and reacts to the lack of literary master-narrative. Atemporality serves as
bridge between an analog past and the heavily networked structure of the
metamorphosing present and will allows us to better understand broader
sociocultural trends and constructs, to give duration and temporality to our own,
ahistorical time
