The changing way we live and conceptualize time is the key to the understanding a series of transformations that characterize late modernity: the metamorphosis of the psychopathological device, i.e., the way in which mental vulnerability manifests itself, that of the identity device, and of the device that regulates social relations. In this paper the following hypothesis is explored: the psychopathological pathomorphism, the anthropological and socio-cultural mutations that characterize late modernity are interpretable as phenomena related to a common and radical modification of the way of living and conceptualizing time, namely by the predominance of instantaneity.
