- Abstract
People take for granted that they exist in dimensions of space and time. Individuals accept, as a matter of course, that space extends and that time passes. We live in landscapes of space and time, and view these from a variety of perspectives or orientations, each applicable to a different aspect of life-for instance, home, leisure, economic, political and organizational. Just as a geography of space contains recognizable natural features-rivers, deserts, mountains-and features created by human beings- canals, roads, skyscrapers-so people live in a temporal landscape that contains natural features -day and night, the seasons-and features created by us-the ordering of social, economic, legal, and organizational time into, among other things, the Practices of family life, financial periods, prison sentences, and work loads. This article views the temporal landscapes of business school academics, and is based on longitudinal ethnographic research. The result is the Production of a map, albeit a rough one, of the temporal landscape inhabited by university business school academics as they go about their working lives.
