立冬 第五十六候 地始凍（ちはじめてこおる）
秋の紅葉も見頃を迎えていますが、暦はもう立冬となりました。
駐車場には、銀杏の実がたくさん落ちていますが、心なしか例年より小粒です。
さて、今年度、コロナ感染拡大の恐れから、延期措置となっておりました
年期大会ですが、来年の6月に予定通り開催する方向で準備を始めました。
——第13回日本時間学会大会——
会期：2021年（令和3）6月18日（金）19日（土）20日（日）
会場：活水女子大学（長崎市東山手町1-50）
詳細につきましては、順次、学会HPで告知致します。
霜降 第五十三候 霎時施 (こさめときどきふる)
朝晩と日中の寒暖差が大きくなり、ぱらぱらと通り雨のように雨が降りはじめる頃になりました。ひと雨ごとに紅葉が色づいてゆき初時雨は、人々や動物たちが冬支度をはじめる合図だといわれています。
さて、会員の安藤隆雄さんより、日本時間学会の会員でもあった、故・岡田芳朗先生の著作や資料が天文台に寄贈されて、「岡田芳郎文庫」として納められたというお話を伺いましたので、皆様に共有させていただきます。

寒露 第五十候 菊花開（きくのはなひらく）
旧暦九月九日は、重陽の節句。別名「菊の節句」とも言い、中国ではこの日、菊の花を浸した菊花酒で不老長寿を祝う習慣があったそうです。
それが平安時代に日本へ伝わり、宮中では高貴な人々が菊花酒を飲みながら歌を詠み花を競う「菊合わせ」を楽しみ、優雅な秋の一日を楽しんだ様子が知られています。
さて、日本時間学会は、日本学術会議の協力学術団体であり、2020年10月1日に報道された、第25期日本学術会議の新会員に対する任命拒否に関して、このような事態を非常に憂慮すべきものと考えております。
日本時間学会は理事会を代表して会長の一川誠による声明を発表しましたのでご報告致します。

Call for Papers
International Society for the Study of Time (ISST)
Eighteenth Triennial Conference
June 26-July 1, 2022 / Yamaguchi, Japan
Time and Measure
Proposals (300 words) due by August 15, 2021
The ISST, renowned for its interdisciplinary scope, invites scientists, scholars, artists and practitioners to explore questions concerning Time and Measure at its 18th Triennial Conference to be held in collaboration with the Japanese Society for Time Studies (JSTS) and the Research Institute of Time Studies (RITS) at Yamaguchi University in South-Western Japan.
Our format of plenary presentations delivered over four days creates a sustained discussion among participants. We thus expect participants to register for the entirety of the conference. We shall take a day off mid-conference and provide participants a choice of time-related excursions in the Yamaguchi area, the site of crucial events at various turning points in Japanese history .
Because of worldwide uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, we shall be considering whether and how we may allow for online conference participation.
Further information will follow.
For its 2022 Triennial, the ISST wishes to instigate discussion of all the kinds of temporal measure—both quantitative and qualitative—which are the work of our different professional disciplines and some of which may also prove to be cross-disciplinary. When asked about time and its measure, most people would think of clocks: an even progression of numbers. This view
goes back to Aristotle’s definition of time (in Physics IV) as “the count [arithmos] of changing in respect of before and after.” As recent events have made us aware, however, times of crisis may require other measures. Political crises or a crisis like the pandemic seem to impose their own
measure of time. Crisis thus throws into relief the fact that not all times are equal—something that musicians, strategists and physicians have always known; these professionals and others have had to develop their own systems of taking time’s measure–some dependent on clocks, some not.
Suggested Topics
In what (different/new) ways do physicists, biologists, chemists, geologists, archeologists,
engineers and other scientists take the measure of things in time?
How truth-bearing and/or enduring are various measurements
What about ‘probabilistic’ measurements of quantumstates?
Can time and space be measured in the same sense?
Do quantitative differences become qualitative?
Are lightyears comparable to nanoseconds?
Is time (exclusively) defined by its measure?
How do social scientists generate a metric of temporality?
Are statistical measures more or less basic than positive ones?
How does temporal measure relate to ethical decisions?
Are there reliable measures for ethical choices in the instant moment and/or over a human lifetime?
In what ways do we measure the function of ‘tempi’ in music, poetry, theatre performance, dance and film?
How are measures of time involved in the visual arts?
How does temporal mensuration enter or shape narrative discourses in literature?
We measure chronologies pretty well. But by what means do we measure the kind of time that is a kairos?
How do crises (e.g., political crisis, catastrophic climate change, the pandemic) impact the measurement of time?
Other Suggested Topics:
–time, measure, money and generosity
–history as the measure or mismeasure of time
–the measurement of public vs individual time
–tense/aspect, mood, person and voice in languages
–measurement as determining our understanding of the measured
–the limits of measuring time
–cosmic clocks
Guidelines/Timeline for Proposals: Proposals will be for 20-minute presentations in diverse
formats: scholarly paper, debate, performance, overview of creative work, installation,
workshop. Proposals for interdisciplinary panels are especially welcome. (Each paper for a panel
must be approved by the selection committee.) All work will be presented in English and should
strike a balance between expertise in an area of specialization and accessibility to a general
intellectual audience. Proposals, no more than 300 words in length, are submitted electronically.
The author’s or authors’ name(s) should not appear in the proposal as the ISST does blind
reviewing in selecting papers for its conferences. The deadline for submission is August 15,
2021, with acceptances communicated by December 15, 2021. The Society also seeks session
chairs, whose names will be included on the printed conference program.
