Abstract

Time and space are basic categories of human experience, even if its real scope has not claimed for itself a sufficient theoretical and methodological concern over. The much talked about transition to post-modernity cannot be understood only on condition of reviewing the changes that the consciousness of time and space has experienced over the course of recent decades. Only then, through an analysis that will lead to the elucidation of the historical specificity of this new condition, it should be possible to rigorously understand the real nature of the changes that have begun to surface in cultural and identity processes, as well as the reconfiguration of social ties in terms of postmodernism. With a view to that end, this study briefly orients to recognize these mutations, their implications and impact on socio-cultural life.
