Author Description

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.
