Reassembling the concept of space-time: towards a flat sociology
Space is the dough that we,as social beings,try to build our lives in, through and around.the understanding of space has undergone several ruptures throughout the history of this concept.From Cartesian-Newtonian understanding as an absolute thing,to Leibniz's relative understanding, to Einstein's discontinuity,which led to the understanding of a relation of space.With the spatial turn of the 20th century, space/spatial matter came out of the shadow of time/historical matter.The current research is of a qualitative type,using documentary method and with a critical approach,to deeply examine the history of space-time, different paradigms in this field and their shortcomings.And finally, Latour's approach has been chosen to explain and reassembling the concept of space-time.Since space is nothing but the relationship between objects,in order to understand it accurately,we are forced to choose a paradigm that bases the ontology of a relationship at its fundamental level.Using Latour's concepts such as network, actors, the same human/non-human agency (ontological symmetry),black box, association and translation.We proposed a conceptual model that helps us in a more accurate and objective understanding of space-time.It can be said that in order to understand the space-time of a phenomenon, it is enough to examine its network .This leads us to relational ontology and flat sociology.
