Nowadays, time and our temporality have become an urgent problem. The cultural and civilizational transformations that we have been experiencing in the last decades give rise to different reorientations and mutations in the lived experience of time that is ─sometimes inextricably─ interwoven with “liquid” metamorphoses of subjectivity and intersubjectivity. These transformations take place outside the traditional course of a stable identity. While this might produce both critical and creative effects, it also has adisastrous existential impact. 

Moreover, for more than a year now our globalized world has been experiencing a profound impact our time experience; the insidious and cruel Covid-19 pandemic has gone beyond massive physical displacements, economical bonds and virtual networks, and allowed us to understand leibhaftig, in person, the meaning of “event”, the density of time, the sense of experiences such as everydayness in its lack of transcendence, boredom, tediousness… and of affects and feelings such as fear, anguish or anxiety.

After a one-year postponement due to the general suspension of on-site meetings as a health protection measure against Covid-19, the XIII Congress of the Spanish Society of Phenomenology (SEFE) asks these and many other questions in order to understand how these mutations in our experience of temporality affect our experience of subjectivity and, conversely, how self-understanding and the lived experience of subjectivity have influence on the lived experience of time.
