Lecture Briefing: The proposal for a society of good living needs to be constructed on the basis of another uchrony: recovering time as life. This uchrony must be thought of in the framework of an approach to a different epistemic, theoretical and methodological corpus for the construction of the society of the good way of living. This conference will show a framework of conceptual, methodological and empirical analysis based on the study of time. It is proposed that in the analysis of the political socio-ecology of time for the good life it is possible to find the theoretical and methodological instruments that allow us to analyse, evaluate and propose alternatives for action towards the construction of the society of the good life, that of sumac kawsay.
