Space and time in the postmodern polity

Journal/Book: West J Comm. 1999; 63: Univ Utah, Communication Dept, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA. Western States Communication Assoc. 271-290.

Abstract: The argument in this essay is that both space and time are far more complex than a simple sense of how one locates oneself in space, or of how one constructs urgency or delay through discourse. Space-time structures life, and thus impacts discourse in unseen, unfelt ways. This essay establishes a framework for interrogating space and time through brief explorations of discursive events. The essay argues for a reorientation from logos to nomos in the exploration of space and a reorientation from a linear logic to a cyclical multi-dimensional perspective in the analysis of time.
