Rethinking the timescape of home: Domestic practices in time and space

Although geographers have long argued that time and space are interwoven in everyday life, far less attention has been paid to complex and multiplex connections among temporal rhythms/cycles, the experience of temporal relations and a sense of temporal modalities in the domestic sphere. This article harnesses the notion of ‘timescape’, which emphasises the association between practices in space and time, to seek the time-spaces and temporalities in the domestic. It argues that geographies of home need to pay more attention to the links across everyday time and temporality, life-time and large-scale time and their wider implications in diverse contexts.
