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

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. (Doreen Massey, "Imagining Globalisation: power-geometries of time-space" From this text it appears clear that she would fit better in the "Criticism" part of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.92.238.60 (talk) 14:42, 9 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

This article doesn't mention Zygmunt Bauman or Thomas Eriksen or any of the other scholars working this topic. Why not? Thanks! 50.4.132.185 (talk) 21:02, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
