Time and space in the contemporaneity: an analysis based on a popular business magazine
Main Article Content
Abstract
Humanity has undergone constant changes that relate to the ways people experience time - more and more accelerated - and space - more and more flexible. This article is a result of an exploratory study with a qualitative focus that seeks to comprehend how the time-space compression operates. For the analysis, indicators of the ways people work and live in the contemporaneity were used, extracted from articles published by a popular business magazine from July, 2005 to June, 2006. Concepts developed by Bauman, Harvey and Virilio were very useful for the analysis of the object of the present study. Among the results observed, we highlight the intense use of information technologies, which contribute to the development of different perceptions, such as being constantly connected and the non-existence of barriers. The distinction between time and space for work and time and space for the family/leisure is weakened. The ways of working in the contemporaneity compel people to adopt auto-management patterns to deal with the constant flux. Time-space compression seems to provoke different impressions, sufferings and (un)certainties.
