Abstract
“Space is in its very nature temporal and time spatial.”1 This idea of a time-space homology, carried over from physics, has implicitly served as a point of departure for the recent development of time-space study. Time-space approaches using different perspectives, have been proposed for several areas of study. Thus, Harvey noted a general positivistic theory in geography: “it will explore the links between indigenous theories of spatial form and derivative theories of temporal process. The links run in both directions.” On the other hand, Castells’ radical perspective suggests that “from a social point of view [therefore], there is no space (a physical quantity, yet an abstract entity qua practice), but an historically defined space-time, a space constructed, worked, practised by social relations.” By the same token, according to Soja, “it becomes less possible to separate history and geography, time and space.2
