Uncertainties Of Time The Past And Future Of Timespace

Examining the concept of Time Space in the work of Immanuel Wallerstein and its crucial role within world-systems analysis Uncertainties of Time brings together important but previously hard-to-access material from Wallerstein’s writings. Time Space is a concept developed from his earliest days in the 1970s until well into the twenty-first century drawing from the historian Fernand Braudel and the chemist Ilya Prigogine to rethink historical time’s two overlooked modes-long enduring or eternal time on the one hand and on the other uncertainty in world-systems. Wallerstein thereby invented a fresh version of historical social science that brought together the customary disciplines associated with economics politics and sociology. This book is an essential volume for understanding Immanuel Wallerstein’s unique contributions to the understanding of the modern world-system which he argued came to an end after the world revolution of 1968-leaving us now in an indeterminate world of chaos. This is thereby a sourcebook for researchers and students who care about the history and decline of our now chaotic world. |Uncertainties of Time The Past and Future of TimeSpace
