![]() While some were able to use time and space compression to their advantage. ![]() Like David Harvey, we argue that money needs to be integrated into such analysis, along with space and time. In Doreen Masseys language the power geometries have shifted at various scales. What does it mean to live life stretched out, multiplyattached to places across national space? What kinds of place attachments emerge for people temporarily sojourning in, rather than moving to, new places to reside and work? Our analysis of the spatiotemporalities of migrant workers’ experiences in India suggests that, over time, this group of workers use their own agency to seek to avoid the experience of humiliation and indignity in employment relations. And the time-space compression which is involved in producing and reproducing the daily lives of the comfortably-off in First World societies - not just their own travel but the resources they draw on, from all over the world, to feed their lives - may entail environmental consequences, or hit constraints, which will limit the lives of others before their own. Doreen Massey maintains this idea about time-space compression in her discussion of globalization and its effect on our society. for the dis-comfort with globalism and modern time-space compression2.

In the relatively rare instances when the spatialities of temporary migrant work, workers’ journeys, and labour-market negotiations have been the subject of scholarly attention, there has been little work that integrates time into the analysis. If time is the dimension of change then space is the dimension of the the contemporaneous co-existence of others. What such a differential conception of the relation between time and space necessarily obscures is a full recognition of their coeval implication, or what. ![]()
