This is a study of how space and time create objects, and how these
objects interact. Using real-world examples, Bryant shows how a
networked concept of space and time is at the heart of our central
political concerns. What sort of interaction is there between, for
example, slow-moving objects like climate and comparatively
fast-moving objects like governments? How can they interact with
each other given their very different lifespans? How do the Amish
interact with the members of the stock market, and vice versa? How
do members of congress, who always exist, interact with the
temporally discontinuous objects of Congressional sessions that
only meet during a certain session each year - flitting in and out
of existence? It proposes a new form of social and political
analysis - 'onto-cartography' - that looks at how relations between
objects are forged by communication and causation. It draws on the
social sciences, geography, new materialist thought and
object-oriented ontology.
