This book explores the ways in which the spatio-temporal
contingency of human life is being conceived in different fields of
research. Specifically, it looks at the relationship between the
situatedness of human life, the situation or place in which human
life is supposed to be situated, and the dimensions of space and
time in which both situation and place are usually themselves
supposed to be situated. Over the last two or three decades, the
spatio-temporal contingency of human life has become an important
topic of research in a broad range of different disciplines
including the social sciences, the cultural sciences, the cognitive
sciences, and philosophy. However, this research topic is referred
to in quite different ways: while some researchers refer to it in
terms of "situation", emphasizing the "situatedness" of human
experience and action, others refer to it in terms of "place",
emphasizing the "power of place" and advocating a "topological" or
"topographical turn" in the context of a larger "spatial turn".
Interdisciplinary exchange is so far hampered by the fact that the
notions referred to and the relationships between them are usually
not sufficiently questioned. This book addresses these issues by
bringing together contributions on the spatio-temporal contingency
of human life from different fields of research.
