New Paths for Time-Geography?

Abstract

ABSTRACTABSTRACTTime-geography was developed in the 1970s and immediately gained influence within a number of research fields. Soon, however, critical viewpoints were ex pressed. One central objection was that time-geography did not treat the individual as an acting subject. This paper discusses how time-geography can be developed by closing the gap to other social sciences. The objective is to contribute to the development of a theory of action, dealing with everyday life. Central concepts in such a theory are project, action, rationality forms, and strategy. In the paper the approach is illustrated with an empirical example.
