Modernity, Metatheory, and the Temporal-Spatial Divide: From Mythos to Techne: Routledge Approaches to History

Autor Michael Kimaid
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2015
This book is about how modernity affects our perceptions of time and space. Its main argument is that geographical space is used to control temporal progress by channeling it to benefit particular political, economic and social interests, or by halting it altogether. By incorporating the ancient Greek myth of the Titanomachy as a conceptual metaphor to explore the elemental ideas of time and space, the author argues that hegemonic interests have developed spatial hierarchy into a comprehensive system of technocratic monoculture, which interrupts temporal development in order to maintain exclusive power and authority. This spatial stasis is reinforced through the control of historical narratives and geographical settings. While increasingly comprehensive, the author argues that this state of affairs can best be challenged by focusing on the development of "unmappable places" which presently exist within the socio-spatial matrix of the modern world.

Descriere

This book takes a broad view of both geography and history, from the Athenian Agora to Zucotti Park, unifying the specifics of particular times and certain places into a comprehensive argument for examining the biggest questions we can ask of the disciplines of geography and history (the studies of space and time, respectively).Where are we in relation to where we have been, and where are we going? The answer has profound implications for our own understandings as well as the shape of things to come for future generations.
