Description
Summary:In this article, we explore the temporal-and-spatial dimension of “compressed modernity”, a concept invented and developed by the Korean sociologist Chang Kyung-Sup. We examine the relationships between individual narratives and typical urban locations in Tongli and Zhenze, two water towns in the Southern Jiangsu Province, not forgetting the cultural and social dynamics of tourism and the protection of the local “cultural heritage”. The embedding, dis-embedding and re-embedding of memories and places in these water towns invite us to reconsider the modes of production of temporalities, their different figures and their various uses. This study opens avenues to question the concepts of modernity and postmodernity, by examining the relationships between urban spaces and social temporalities.
