We seek to extinguish the barriers from time and from space. The search for instantaneity, that marked the humankind for many centuries, continues even more avid. ![]() The values we follow and defend are more volatile, as the relations between people and between human being with the world they live in. The feeling of living at a liquid atmosphere is what Bauman understands as the essence of the contemporary society. This means that this society can not remain structured for a long time. This “liquid-modern” kind of life is a way of living at the liquid modernity presented by Bauman wherein the members act under conditions that change in a shorter time than the necessary for consolidation of habits and routines, also ways of action (Bauman 2009). In other words, the possibility of moving easier and faster as lighter we travel. And it is this mobility and inconstancy of fluids that assimilates them to the idea of lightness. As explained by Bauman (2000:2) “and so for them it is the flow of time that counts, more than the space they happen to occupy: that space, after all, they fill but ‘for a moment’”. They do not have a pre-defined shape and they are constantly ready, and prone, to change it. ![]() Therefore, the article discusses the breakdown of the two-way relationship between space and time – brought by Bauman (2000) –, the compression process presented by Harvey (1992).įluids or liquids neither fix space nor bind time. This paper intends to comprehend and discuss the transformations of the representation of the world by instant communication and mobility. The phenomenon of compression also reflected in the representation of the world, in a way that the perception of shrinkage experienced throughout history – the once vast world – has been reduced to a global village. The concept of rhythm developed here usefully depicts the dynamic and hierarchical nature of an uneven social field by drawing attention to the multiplicity of different tempos that can be heard simultaneously – beats that are distinct but related and which, together, produce the vast unity that we seek to disentangle.Faculdade Cásper Líbero, São Paulo, accelerating pace of life and overcoming spatial barriers marked the history of capitalism and that seems to have caused a compression process of the two dimensions (time and space). For example, while border biographies can vividly identify key moments in the life of a border, these temporal breaks need to be set against various other temporalities (of the world-system, of regional trade, of national interventions) to be understood. In each case this novel reading of a familiar idea reveals a diverse set of experiences of time and space. Novak uses Lefebvre’s idea of rhythmanalysis to provide a critical interpretation of three familiar concepts: time–space compression, border biographies and the refugee cycle regularly used in border studies. The chapter not only assesses the temporal aspects of the Durand Line (the linear marker separating Afghanistan and Pakistan), but also the River Indus, which at this point forms the boundary between Islamabad and Peshawar provinces within Pakistan. ![]() Paolo Novak, however, considers three decades of assistance for Afghan refugees in Pakistan through a temporal lens, drawing attention to the changing rate of labour and refugee flows, the differentiated temporal experience of boundary-crossing and the coming into being of boundary lines themselves. At first glance borders and boundaries seem to be unambiguously spatial objects. ![]()
