Between process and individuation : translating metaphors and narratives of urban space
The A. wants to explore more closely Lefebvre's injunction for a careful examination of the relationship between space, language and politics. He wants to examine the metaphors used by scholars theorizing urban space and everyday urban life
. Conceptual and political problems are associated with the adoption of various metaphors about urban space.

Capitalism ; Concept ; Daily life ; Economic system ; Partnership ; Power ; Social network ; Societal relations ; Space time
The A. seeks a more comprehensive mapping of the experience of time-space in late modernity. Building on Massey's notion of power geometry, he integrates discussions of time-space with an application of different understandings of power
and their manifestations - in latent-power conditions, socioeconomic networks, actor networks, local interpersonal relations, and the network spaces of subjectivity.

Behaviour ; Cornwall ; Cultural studies ; England ; Enquiry ; Holidays ; Motivation ; Space time ; Tourism ; United Kingdom
The AA. examine the potential contribution of time-space diaries to the analysis of tourism behaviour. They pay attention to how such diaries can provide insights into activities and tourism activity spaces which are not available from tourism
questionnaire surveys. These arguments are illustrated by the results of a time-space diary survey undertaken in Newquay. The AA. explore differences in activities and activity spaces related to the types of accommodation used, occupational and family structures

Oh yes I can. Oh no you can't : children and parents' understandings of kids' competence to negotiate public space safely
Behaviour ; Children ; Perception ; Public space ; Security ; Social geography ; Social theory ; Society ; United Kingdom
The paper aims to develop some of the issues raised in Hart's research by looking specifically at the issue of children's competence in relation to the ability of children to negociate public space alone safely, and in doing so to make the concept
of children's competence more explicit in geography. The material is based on interviews carried out with parents of children aged 8-11 in the UK and on focus group discussions with children about their experiences of public space and how they get round

More space through telework? Flexible forms of work and their impact on spatial organisation and mobility through an analysis of changing time-space behaviour
Commuting ; Flexibility ; Journey to work ; Labour ; Space time ; Spatial behaviour ; Teleworking
In this study the effects of telework on the behaviour of people in time and space are investigated. The study is highly future-oriented. The subject has been approached from the theoretical viewpoint that telework affects the flexibility
of individual teleworkers in time and space. The timing and choice of locations for activities can be influenced and this enable changes in individual travel behaviour. - (AGD)

In a rapidly restructuring world, in which distance is becoming increasingly irrelevant as an influence on many forms or behaviour, territoriality remains an important aspect of the manipulation of space for economic, social, political and cultural
