The thesis investigates the conflicting perceptions of time in connection with the coexistence of multiple temporal regimes and the embeddedness of the tourism economy in contemporary Bali. In my research, I introduce the notion of “temporal rupture” to describe the experiential phenomena of bodily and mental disruptions as a consequence of the clashing value systems and sentiments between different meanings of time and work. By disentangling the interrelation of temporality and the economy of capitalism, these embodied disruptions reveal the existing social inequalities in Bali.
