Abstract
“MA” is a central component of Japanese culture which directs and influences Japanese arts, architecture, religion, and theatre. For the Japanese ma constitutes a “gap” or “interval” that represents a collapse of time and space which differs from the Western notion of time and space as linear and teleological. This essay examines the concept of ma, compares it to the Western perception of time and space, and discusses the implications it carries for the study of intercultural and intracultural communication.
