Isikhathi samahhala umqondo osanda kuqhathaniswa. Ngaphambi kokuphela kwekhulu le-1880, amaFrance cishe ayengazi ngokuphumula, kwaze kwaba ngo-1906 ukubona “usuku lokuphumula” oludumile luqhamuka, ikakhulukazi olunikelwe ngesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu, kwase kuba ngo-1917 ukuze iSonto lingabi yiholide lomphakathi futhi Ngo-1945 ukuze ngoMgqibelo ntambama kubuye kube kwabesifazane (ikakhulukazi “ukulungiselela iSonto labayeni babo”). Le modeli yakudala ihlukumezeka ukufika kwamaholide akhokhelwayo okwakhathaza abasebenzi: ngaleso sikhathi, sasihlala ekhaya lapho sigula noma singasebenzi. Isikhathi esingadlulisi umcabango, isikhathi samahhala, sivela kuqala futhi njengesikhathi esesabisayo nesicindezelayo. Kwakuvela ku-XNUMX ukuthi isikhathi samahhala sazalwa ngempela. 

Isikhathi samahhala sivame ukusolwa ngokuholela ekungenzi lutho, ukungabi nalutho, ubuvila. Abanye ababhali abanjengoMichel Lallement bakholelwa ukuthi ukwanda kwaso emashumini eminyaka adlule akuholelanga ekuthuthukisweni kwezokungcebeleka noma ezenzakalweni zomphakathi, kepha kube ekunciphiseni isikhathi ngaphandle komsebenzi: ” abantu bathatha isikhathi eside ukwenza okufanayo. Lokhu impela akuhlobene nokuthi izimo zokusebenza, ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukahlukene, ziya ngokuqina. Kodwa-ke, kuyadingeka ukuthi kubhekwe imiphumela yezici eziningi ezinjengokwandiswa kokufunda kwezingane kanye nokutshalwa kwemali okulinganayo kwabo bobabili abashadile, okwenyusa isidingo sesikhathi esichithwa emisebenzini nasekunakekelweni kwemindeni.

Ekuqaleni ibibhekwa njengesikhala sesikhashana "ngaphandle kwezingqinamba" kanye "nokuzikhethela okukhulu kobuhle obulodwa bomuntu ngamunye", kuyindida ukuthi iba nemikhawulo eminingi. Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi ukubaluleka kwesikhathi samahhala kukhuphuke kakhulu, kokubili ngokwanda kwaso esikhathini esijwayelekile sokuphila komuntu nangamandla okuthuthuka esikunikezayo, ingasaphathwa eyokungalingani kwezenhlalo okungasichaza. Impilo yomndeni nayo ibe yinkimbinkimbi ngokwengeziwe ngaphansi komthelela wokuhlukaniswa kwemikhakha yokusebenza kwamalungu ayo, ukuhlukaniswa kwezindawo zokuhlala kanye nokwahlukana okukhulayo phakathi kwendawo yokuhlala nezindawo zomsebenzi wobungcweti. nesikole. Ukwanda komuntu ngamunye ngalesi sikhathi samahhala ekugcineni kuzoholela ekuxabaneni ngemiphumela ngokwezinga lempilo futhi kudinga ukulungiswa esikhathini esinikelwe ikhaya nomndeni. 

Ucwaningo lwe-INSEE lwango-1999 lwabonisa ukuthi isilinganiso samahhala ngosuku samaFulentshi kwakungamahora amane nemizuzu engama-4, nokuthi ingxenye yalesi sikhathi yayinikelwa kuthelevishini. Isikhathi esichithwa emisebenzini yomphakathi bekuyimizuzu engama-30 kuphela ngosuku, ngaphambi kokufunda noma ukuvakasha.

Olunye ucwaningo lweCREDOC lwangonyaka we-2002 lwabonisa ukuthi amaFrance azizwa ematasa kakhulu.

Kumbuzo othi, ” Yikuphi kokulandelayo okuchaza kahle? ", Abangu-56% bakhethe lokhu ” Umatasa kakhulu »Ukulwa nama-43% we« Unesikhathi esiningi samahhala “. Abantu abaneliseke ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi abanaso ikakhulu abathathe umhlalaphansi, izisebenzi zikahulumeni, abantu abahlala bodwa noma abahlala emndenini wabantu ababili.

Embuzweni ” uma ubungacelwa ukuba ukhethe phakathi kokuthuthukisa izimo zakho zokuhola nokunciphisa isikhathi sakho sokusebenza, ngokwesibonelo ngendlela yekhefu elengeziwe, ubungakhetha ini? », U-57% umemezele ukuthi bakhetha ukwenziwa ngcono kwezimo zabo zemiholo kunokuba kuncishiswe isikhathi sabo sokusebenza kunhlolovo elisukela ngo-2006.

Namuhla eFrance, isikhathi sokuphila esilinganiselwe cishe amahora angama-700. Sichitha cishe amahora angama-000 sisebenza (uma kuqhathaniswa cishe nama-63 ku-000), okusho ukuthi isikhathi samahhala manje sesingaphezu kwengxenye yempilo yethu lapho sikhipha nesikhathi esisichitha silele. 

Kulezi zinsuku, kunzima kakhulu ukuvuma kwabanye lokhosibhorekile. Abanye futhi bathi abalokothi babhoreke. Ngabe kufanele sikuqonde ngalokhu ukuthi abaze bashiye “isikhathi nesikhathi”? Ukuthi "babulala isikhathi" ngokushesha nje lapho isithukuthezi sikhomba ichopho lekhala lakhe? Kungani ufuna ukubalekela isithukuthezi, ingasaphathwa eyokuziqhayisa ngakho? Yini le ayifihlayo? Yini ayivezayo ebaluleke kangangoba sifuna ukumzingela ngazo zonke izindlela? Yini esingayithola uma singavuma ukudinwa, njengohambo?

Abaculi abaningi nabelaphi banesiphakamiso sempendulo:isithukuthezi okujulile, okuvivinywe “kuze kube sekupheleni” kungaba nenani kwesinye isikhathi elakha, kwesinye isikhathi elihlenga futhi elaphayo. Ngaphezu komthwalo osindayo ongawuthwala, kungaba ilungelo eliyigugu: lelo lokuthatha isikhathi sakho.

Enye yezinkondlo zikaPaul Valéry enesihloko esithi "Izintende" ifingqa umqondo ngokuya ngokuthi isithukuthezi, uma nje sijule, sigcina imithombo engalindelekile. Akungabazeki ukuthi umbhali wayenesithukuthezi ngaphambi kokubhala…

Lezo zinsuku ezibonakala zingenalutho kuwe

Futhi ilahlekile endaweni yonke

Yiba nezimpande ezihahayo

Osebenza izingwadule

Ngabe kwanele ukuba nesithukuthezi ukuze ube nobuciko? UDelphine Rémy uyacacisa: “ akwanele ukubhoreka "njengegundane elifile", kepha kunalokho, mhlawumbe, ukufunda ukuba nesithukuthezi sasebukhosini, njengesithukuthezi senkosi ngaphandle kokuzijabulisa. Kuwubuciko. Ubuciko bokuba nesizungu sasebukhosini futhi bunegama, obubizwa ngalo: ifilosofi. »

Ngeshwa, bambalwa futhi bambalwa abantu abazinika isikhathi sokubhoreka. Iningi seligijima ngemuva kwesikhathi samahhala. Sizama ukugcwalisa isikhathi esizama ukukhulula… ” Uboshwe yizibopho ozinika zona, uba yisithunjwa sakho, kusho uPierre Talec. Thulula konke! USartre usevele ukugcizelele lokhu kucabanga kokucabanga ukuthi ufuna ukuphumula kanti umuntu uhlala ethukuthele. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kuphazamiseka kwangaphakathi, okuholela kulokhu kungakwazi ukuhlala endaweni yakho, uhlala ufuna ukuthatha isikhathi, kuzogcina ngokulahlekelwa yiyo. 

« Ukuzilibazisa engikuthandayo ukuvumela isikhathi sidlule, ukuba nesikhathi, ukuthatha isikhathi sakho, ukuchitha isikhathi, ukuhlala endleleni eshayiwe » UFrançoise Sagan

« Isikhathi samahhala singaba sentsha isikhathi senkululeko, leso sokulangazelela nokudlala, sokubheka okukuzungezile kanye nokuthola okunye ukuphakama. Akufanele kube yisikhathi sokulahlwa […]. » François Mitterrand

« Akusona isikhathi sokusebenza, kepha isikhathi samahhala esilinganisa ingcebo » I-Marx

« Ngoba isikhathi samahhala asiyona "ilungelo lobuvila", yizikhathi zokwenza, ukuqamba, ukuhlangana, ukudala, ukusetshenziswa, ukuhamba, ngisho nokukhiqiza. » UJean Viard
