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.
