Paul Zawadzki’s *Malaise dans la temporalité* examines the subtle yet profound shifts in contemporary democratic societies, focusing on how temporal structures shape political and social life. Drawing on anthropological insights, the book argues that modern institutions increasingly experience a sense of disorientation as traditional rhythms of public engagement dissolve. Zawadzki explores the consequences of this “temporal malaise” for civic participation, policy formation, and collective identity, offering a nuanced critique of the pace and organization of modern public spheres. The work blends theoretical analysis with concrete examples, making it a valuable resource for scholars of political science, anthropology, and anyone interested in the cultural dimensions of time.
