Jon May, Nigel Thrift
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.

Times' importance alongside spatial issues is becoming widely recognised. TImespace emphasises the importance of time, but crucially brings concepts of space and time together within a single timespace framework
Nigel Thrift is a well-known, leading name and very experienced editor, whilst Jon May is a respected and enthusiastic young academic
All the chapters have been specially commissioned and this will ensure a greater sense of continuity of the theme throughout the book. It also gives a good balance of well-known names from across the disciplines and from different geographic regions
The book gives an overview of history, recent changes, processes of changing temporality, to detailed examinations of race, place, nation etc

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 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.
