Abstract

Social, political, cultural, and economic transformations develop in the different historical times as defined by the various academic disciplines, theoretical and ideological orientations and interests of social groups. In this classification and perspective, social time can accelerate or can freeze; it can jump in disruptive movements that also have as their objective the possibility of influencing the orientation of power exercised by the elites and in which subordinate groups try to influence or modify the correlation of forces between possessors and dispossessed. F. Braudel has established a reference of historical time under the concept of the long duration in order to analyze aspects of social transformations over time; or, N. Elías has problematized the notion of time and how in it the projects of the dominant and subordinate classes are interconnected, as well as their struggles.
