Homes are often the site of research in business anthropology. The relatively brief time frames of much consumer research can lead to a perception of stability of space-time rather than one of indeterminacy and flux. In this article I explore examples of such flows in the home and how they are actively produced. Following Latour, Ingold, and other theorists, I examine the co-creation of “home” by human and non-human actors in order to destabilize the concept and to open our research to richer possibilities and greater habitability.

Narratives in cinema text are seen as narratives of interrelated events occurring within specific space-time frames involving the author, narrator and characters. The intermedical nature of documentary filmmaking complicates its analysis in the coordinates of any research paradigm. However, among the universal categories of reception of film narratives, polyphonicism should be singled out as a means of creating a holistic view of a cultural product. The article offers the authorʼs vision of realization of the polyphonism of the film narrative in the documentaries “I Call You” (2006), “Poeta Maximus” (2008), “So No One Loved” (2008) from the series “Game of Fate”. It is concluded that there is a certain plot-compositional scheme of organization of audiovisual polyphonic narrative in the series. Among the specific figures of the screen narration in the analyzed documentary tapes we see transposition (eg, transition from the direct speech of the presenter to a voice-over commentary on a movie quote), overlay (simultaneous use of the “chronicle of the epoch” with the off-screen reading of an excerpt from an artistic text), photos and video snippets).

This paper constitutes a fundamental rederivation of special relativity based on thec-invariance postulate but independent of the assumptionds′2=±ds2(Einstein [1], Kittel et al [2], Recami [3]), the equivalence principle, homogeneity of space-time, isotropy of space, group properties and linearity of space-time transformations or the coincidence of the origins of inertial space-time frames. The mathematical formalism is simpler than Einstein's [4] and Recami's [3]. Whilst Einstein's subluminal and Recami's superluminal theories are rederived in this paper by further assuming the equivalence principle and “mathematical inverses” [4,3], this paper derives (independent of these assumptions) with physico-mathematical motivation an alternate singularity-free special-relativistic theory which replaces Einstein's factor[1/(1−V2/c2)]12and Recami's extended-relativistic factor[1/(V2/c2−1)]12by[(1−(V2/c2)n)/(1−V2/c2)]12, wherenequals the value of(m(V)/m0)2as|V|→c. In this theory both Newton's and Einstein's subluminal theories are experimentally valid on account of negligible terms. This theory implies that non-zero rest mass luxons will not be detected as ordinary non-zero rest mass bradyons because of spatial collapse, and non-zero rest mass tachyons are undetectable because they exist in another cosmos, resulting in a supercosmos of matter, with the possibility of infinitely many such supercosmoses, all moving forward in time. Furthermore this theory is not based on any assumption giving rise to the twin paradox controversy. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of this theory for general relativity.

Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein lived in fundamentally different time frames. Newton in the 16th century, Maxwell in the 18th century, Bohr in the 20th century and Einstein was physically living in the 20th century but he was his time far ahead and with his concept of a “curved space-time continuum” more connected to the 21st century. An interesting question would be: “Who would win the fundamental discussion about the interaction between “Gravity and Light” comparing the 4 fundamentally different time-frames? Newton, Maxwell, Bohr or Einstein? Newton with the fundamental “3rd law of equilibrium between the forces (force-densities)”. Maxwell who had built the “Mathematical Foundation for Electrodynamics”, Bohr (together with Heisenberg) who overruled Einstein during the 5th Solvay Conference in 1927 with the fundamental concept of “Quantum Mechanical Probability” or Einstein (his time-frame far ahead) who postulated a “Curved Space-Time Continuum” within a gravitational field. It is still the question who was right? Newton, Maxwell, Bohr or Einstein? This article will discuss the interaction between “Gravity and Light” based on a deductive discussion based on the fundamental arguments and way of thinking within that corresponding time-frame.

Much of the writing on urban regeneration in the UK has been focused on the types of urban spaces that have been created in city centres. Less has been written about the issue of when the benefits of regeneration could and should be delivered to a range of different interests, and the different time frames that exist in any development area. Different perceptions of time have been reflected in dominant development philosophies in the UK and elsewhere. The trickle-down agendas of the 1980s, for example, were criticised for their focus on the short-term time frames and needs of developers, often at the expense of those of local communities. The recent emergence of sustainability discourses, however, ostensibly changes the time focus of development and promotes a broader concern with new imagined futures. This paper draws on the example of development in Salford Quays, in the North West of England, to argue that more attention needs to be given to the politics of space–time in urban development processes. It begins by discussing the importance and relevance of this approach before turning to the case study and the ways in which the local politics of space–time has influenced development agendas and outcomes. The paper argues that such an approach harbours the potential for more progressive, far-reaching, and sustainable development agendas to be developed and implemented.

AbstractConsidering the recent ‘temporal turn’ in International Relations scholarship, this article proposes that space and time are concepts that ‘thicken’ one another in several ways, with significant implications for understanding foreign policy and world politics. In the discourse of security and governance, space–time frames work together to facilitate and legitimize certain policies, actions, and reactions, and imply distinct perspectives on ethics. Drawing on the examples of United States (US) drone use, reactions to the event that has become known as ‘Benghazi’, and fears of the global spread of disease, this study investigates how temporal and spatial framings conceptualize effective and ethical security and governance. Arguing that space–time frames take shape from the resonance of political, theoretical, and cultural texts, four frames are elaborated including ‘space–time liberations’, ‘space–time oppressions’, ‘space–time strategics’, and ‘space–time reflexivities’. The article concludes by suggesting that contradictions and tensions between the frames along with postcolonial and decolonial perspectives can be leveraged to interrogate and displace dominant notions of pace and space in the practice and study of world politics, and that this is a form of scholarly and political reflexivity.

Стремление преодолеть существующие пространственно-временные рамки всегда было присуще людям, к каким бы идейным течениям они ни относились. Несмотря на большое многообразие теорий, концепций, с различной достоверностью описывающих устройство пространства-времени, их практическое применение в архитектуре пока остается крайне ограниченным. Теория складки, разработанная французским философом Жилем Делезом в конце ХХ века, отрицает существование линейного времени: нет ни будущего, ни настоящего, ни прошлого, все события выстроены в единую цепь континуальности. Если же время и возможно представить в виде какой-либо структуры, то это скорее запутанный клубок нитей, где не представляется возможным найти ни начало, ни конец. Данная статья рассматривает развитие представлений о пространстве-времени, классификацию времени, его гипотетические свойства, а также особенности восприятия людьми. Метод исследования - анализ концепций времени в архитектуре на примере зданий, спроектированных архитекторами Беном ван Беркелем, Ван Шу, Питером Эйзенманом, Бэй Юймином. Результат исследования показал, что концепции времени, отраженные в архитектурных проектах, в целом наглядно демонстрируют идею нестабильного, неустойчивого состояния Вселенной. The desire to overcome the existing space-time frames has always been inherent to people, whatever ideological currents they may relate. Despite the great variety of theories, concepts, with different reliability describing the structure of space-time, their practical application into architecture is still extremely limited. Fold theory, developed by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze in the late ХХth century, denies the existence of linear time: there is no future, no present, no past, all events are built in a single chain of continuity. If it is possible to represent time in the form of any structure, it is rather a tangled thread, where it is not possible to find either the beginning or the end. This article examines the development of ideas about space-time, the classification of time, its hypothetical properties, as well as the features of human perception. Research method - analysis of time concepts in architecture on the example of buildings designed by architects Ben van Berkel, Wang Shu, Peter Eisenman, Bei Yuming. The result of the study has showed that the concept of time reflected in architectural projects as a whole demonstrates the idea of an unstable, changeable state of the Universe.
