Is time-space compression (Harvey) and space-time-distanciation (Giddens) really the same?! I really doubt that. --Jojona (talk) 16:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Doreen Massey

There seems to be a misunderstanding or a lack of clarity on Massey's use of the concept: Massey uses the term to criticise the idea that globalisation is merely a question of historical progress: "Globalisation" is currently one of the most frequently-used and most powerful terms in our geographical and social imaginations. At its extreme (and though "extreme" this version is nonetheless highly popular) what it calls up is a vision of total unfettered mobility; of free unbounded space. (...) At its worst, it has become something of a mantra. Characteristic words and phrases make an obligatory appearance: instantaneous; Internet; financial trading; the margins invading the centre; the annihilation of space by time. In these texts, the emerging world economy will be captured by an iconic economics: reference to CNN, McDonald's, Sony. And judicious alliterations will strive to convey the maziness of it all: Beijing - Bombay - Bamako - Burnley. (...) It is also a vision which, although apparently in some sense glorying in the recognition of the spatial (while at the same time speaking of its annihilation) makes me very uneasy.
