This paper is concerned with developing an understanding of the lived
time of experience. Reconsidering Bergson's duration, it is argued tha
t by privileging flow to the exclusion of stasis, he does not take his
own concern with contingency far enough. Through an analysis of exper
iences of rupture I argue that discontinuities and moments of stasis a
re integral to the movement of lived experience. What is at issue here
is how we live the future, different experiences of anticipation of t
he future, and understandings of temporalities of the self.
