""NowHere is a fascinating collection of essays, led off by an
introduction of shrewd, comprehensive readings of space-time
problems in the thought of the leading theorists of modernity and
late (post) modernity."--George E. Marcus, Rice University
""NowHere represents one of the liveliest and most original
attempts to rethink modernity on the contemporary scene. The focus
on real time and real place generates a sense of intensity and
urgency that is rare in social science writing."--Sherry B. Ortner,
University of Michigan
"Look what Friedland, Boden, and their fellow authors have put
into this space: it's about time! . . . They establish the
inadequacy of the vacant temporal and spatial geometries most
social science adopts unthinkingly, point the way to reflection on
time and space as rich, dynamic, interacting media, and have a lot
of fun along the way."--Charles Tilly, New School for Social
Research
"Modernity is indeed the spatio-temporality of the 'now here.'
It is the empty time and space of the disciplines and technology as
well as the lived time-space of being in the world. This book is a
panoramic and sustained investigation of the 'chronoscape' of "la
condition moderne--from the negative space of the painter's
tableau, to the proximate immediacy of face-to-face communication,
to the eschatological time of Judaic myth. All of this is itself
located in the concrete rhythm and place of the contemporary city,
the workday, the family, the mass media. This book is essential in
order to grasp the spatio-temporal recasting of thought in the
social and cultural sciences."--Scott Lash, Lancaster
University
