Abstract

All social life exists in time and space. However, when sociologists attend to the “situated” character of social life, they do not treat time‐space simply as the temporal and spatial environment of the phenomena they study. They see time‐space as a constitutive feature in the production and reproduction of what people do and in the way they do things together. The ordering of social life comes about because social practices are routinely made to come together across time‐space as shared experiences. This binding of time‐space is expressed in the ways in which societies, institutions, and individuals organize time‐space, the communication systems they develop and use, and the forms of power they generate.
