Spacing and Timing
该特刊导论探讨了不预设时空先验存在的组织过程,分析间距与时机如何关联认知、组织、中介、参与、他者及在场/缺席等问题,并指出需要发展新的词汇和方法来推进这一研究。
The aim of this special issue is to explore organizing processes in ways which do not assume an a priori existence of space and time. Rather than providing a summary of the papers collected here, this introduction illustrates how Spacing and Timing relate to issues of knowing, organizing, mediation, engagement, alterity and absence/presence. We examine how various actions and practices may be seen as seeking to achieve order but also concomitantly create further openings and orderings. Finally, while this introduction attempts to highlight a range of issues relating to this process, the development of alternative vocabularies, approaches, and insights are required to develop this work further.
