BERGSON, HENRI
1859–1941
Durée (The Long Meeting)
Bergson distinguished spatialized clock-time from lived duration. CoCA's Vow of Calm (§1.2.1) and the Final Vow to Treat Time with Respect (§3.4.3) are Bergsonian operating procedures. The meeting is not measured by the minute. It is inhabited until the work shows up. Duration is not slower; it is thicker. The agenda is the spatialization; the kindness staying is the durée.
