This paper contributes to work on the social life of time. It focuses on how time is doubled; produced by, and productive of, the relations and processes it operates through. In particular, it explores the methodological implications of this conception of time for how social scientists may study the doubledness of time. It draws on an allied move within the social sciences to see methods as themselves doubled, as both emerging from and constitutive of the social worlds that they seek to understand. We detail our own very different methodological experiments with studying the social life of time in London, engaging interactive documentary to elucidate nonlinear imaginaries of space-time in London’s pop-up culture (Ella Harris) and encountering time on a series of walks along a particular stretch of road in south east London (Beckie Coleman). While clearly different projects in terms of their content, ambition and scope, in bringing these projects together, we show the ability of our methods to grasp and perform from multiple angles and scales what Sharma (2014) calls ‘temporal architectures’. Temporal architectures, composed of elements including the built environment, commodities, services, technologies and labour, are infrastructures that enable social rhythms and temporal logics and that can entail a politicized valuing of the time of certain groups over others. We aim to contribute to an expanded and enriched conceptualisation of methods for exploring time, considering what our studies might offer to work on the doubled social life of time and methods, and highlighting in particular their implications for an engagement with a politics of time and temporality.

时间和方法的社会生活：研究伦敦的时间建筑

这篇论文有助于研究时间的社会生活。它侧重于时间如何翻倍；由它运作的关系和过程产生并产生。特别是，它探讨了这种时间概念对社会科学家如何研究时间的双重性的方法论意义。它借鉴了社会科学内部的联合行动，将方法本身视为双重的，既来自他们寻求理解的社会世界，又是其组成部分。我们详细介绍了我们自己非常不同的方法论实验，研究了伦敦时间的社会生活，参与互动纪录片以阐明伦敦快闪文化 (Ella Harris) 中时空的非线性想象，并在沿着特定的一系列散步中遇到时间伦敦东南部的一段路 (Beckie Coleman)。虽然在内容、目标和范围方面明显不同的项目，但在将这些项目结合在一起时，我们展示了我们的方法从多个角度和尺度上掌握和执行 Sharma (2014) 所谓的“时间架构”的能力。时间架构由包括建筑环境、商品、服务、技术和劳动力在内的元素组成，是支持社会节奏和时间逻辑的基础设施，并且可能需要对某些群体的时间进行政治化评估。我们的目标是为探索时间的方法的扩展和丰富的概念化做出贡献，考虑我们的研究可能为研究时间和方法的双重社会生活提供什么，并特别强调它们对参与时间和时间政治的影响.
