Timespace - Geographies of Temporality

Informationen zum Autor Jon May, Nigel Thrift Klappentext Timespace undermines the old certainties of time and space by arguing that these dimensions do not exist singly, but only as a hybrid process term. The issue of space has perhaps been over-emphasised and it is essential that processes of everyday existence, such as globalisation and environmental issues and also notions such as gender, race and ethnicity, are looked at with a balanced time-space analysis.The social and cultural consequences of this move are traced through a series of studies which deploy different perspectives - structural, phenomenological and even Buddhist - in order to make things meet up. The contributors provide an overview of the history of time and introduce the concepts of time and space together, across a range of disciplines. The themes discussed are of importance for cultural geography, sociology, anthropology, cultural and media studies, and psychology. Zusammenfassung Timespace argues that the old dimensions of time and space do not exist singly, but only as a hybrid process term. the contributors introduce the concepts of time and space together, across a range of disciplines.
