M&D - Chapter 19-21 - Time

[Elisabeth Romberg]

ON TIME

Charles Clerc in 'Mason&Dixon&Pynchon' mentions how time and space are related in terms of restraints, that is, the means to limit, to codify, to standardize. 

And how the calendar reform shows how time is manipulated overruling the people's protests.

(p. 97)
