Abstract

Societies that have undergone systemic change are characterized as ‘post’—post-socialist, post-colonial, post-apartheid, etc.—to encapsulate the impact the past still has on their structure and functioning. Research on these societies has therefore tended to adopt a mostly temporal approach, investigating the tension between continuity and change. I make a case for a more balanced approach to post situations by including space as equally valuable. I draw my theoretical inspiration from Hartog’s notion of regimes of historicity and Massey’s space-time to argue that we should investigate space-time regimes. I show that a space-time regime of entanglement, often passéist, with blurred temporal boundaries and messy, place-bound experiences of time, characterizes post situations. Finally, I offer a set of metaphors to describe and analyze the concrete places that this entangled, post space-time produces.

Biography

Myriam Houssay-Holzschuch is a professor at the Institut d’Urbanisme et de Géographie Alpine, Université Grenoble Alpes. Alpes. She is a French critical geographer whose research focuses on urban spaces, with a special emphasis on spatial justice, urban inequalities, and the ways in which social dynamics shape the experience of the city. She has extensively studied cities in South Africa, particularly Cape Town, and explored the unraveling (or not) of the apartheid city and other contemporary urban issues. Her current work engages with epistemic justice and the development of a more cosmopolitan geography, and it addresses the geographies of knowledge production, translation, and critical pedagogies.
