The article describes certain changes that have taken place over the last several years in the temporal perspective found in documentary films. Humanity’s current technological and media environment are influencing the documentary’s content and means of expression. They express a “universal present”, as Mirosław Przylipiak has pointed out, under the influence of television, and the former dominance of statements addressed to the camera gave way to looks into the past. At present, the documentary is once again shifting its orientation toward a strictly defined and changing form of the present. Time in the temporally non-linear works commonly found among contemporary documentaries has become fragmented and individualized. There is also a tendency in non-fiction works to strive for immersion – focusing on the experience of time rather than the telling of a story.

This article explores the role of remembering and history in the process of planning new spaces. We trace how the organizational remembering of past spaces enters the conception (i.e. planning) of a large culture center. By drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s reflections on history, time and memory, we analyze the processual interconnections of his spatial triad, namely between the planned, practiced, and lived moments of the production of space. We find that over time space planning involves recurrent, changing, and contested narratives on ‘lost spaces’, remembering happy spaces of the past that articulate a desire to regain them. The notion of lost space adds to our understanding of how space planning involves, through organizational remembering, a sociomaterial and spatiotemporal work of relating together different spaces and times in non-linear narratives of repetition.

Conversion, Palinody, Traces

Non Linear

Taking three terms which represent different ways of relating to experience, time, and narration, this chapter proposes attention to what remains, in the form traces, against the pressure of conversion which requires, instead, a complete break with the past. Traces are here understood as vestiges or footprints, with literal and metaphorical implications inspired by Sigmund Freud’s reading of Gradiva’s footsteps in his essay on Jensen’s novel, and followed back to Beatrice’s footsteps in Vita Nova and Inferno. Just as Freud understands Pompeii as a symbol of a force which is at once destructive and preservative—in other words, repression—, so this chapter shows that palinody in Dante is a mechanism that conserves as well as hides. The resultant understanding of Dante’s works is volcanic as well as non-linear.

How do Past, Present and Future Weigh into Trajectories of Precarity? The Time Perspectives of Young Psychoactive Substance Users Living in Situations of Social Precarity in Montreal

Experience Of Time

Young psychoactive substance users in social precarity are vulnerable to a range of health and social issues. Time perspective is one aspect to consider in supporting change. This study draws on the views expressed by young adults to portray their subjective experience of time, how this perception evolves and its implications for their substance use and socio-occupational integration trajectories. The sample includes 23 young psychoactive substance users ( M = 24.65 years old; 83% male) in social precarity frequenting a community-based harm reduction centre. Thematic analysis of the interviews reveals the past to be synonymous with disappointment and disillusionment, but also a constructive force. Participants expressed their present-day material and human needs as well as their need for recognition and a sense of control over their own destiny. Their limited ability to project into the future was also discussed. Avenues on how support to this population might be adapted are suggested.

Continuous-time threshold autoregressive (CTAR) processes have been developed in the past few years for modelling non-linear time series observed at irregular intervals. Several approximating processes are given here which are useful for simulation and inference. Each of the approximating processes implicitly defines conditions on the thresholds, thus providing greater understanding of the way in which boundary conditions arise.

Operational Potential

Patterns of representation in travel writing, travel guides, journalism and memoir are shown to amount to aesthetic cognition by comparison to social science analogues. Their postmodernity questions the supposed factuality of those genres. Travel writing and travel guides’s expected orientation to the present is contested by how the past is used. The patterns show operational potential for empirical testing of usual temporal boundaries of the postmodern. Finally, they are forms of modern and postmodern cognitive engagement of tourists and would-be tourists with society, complementing major theories of tourist motivation.

The article analyzes the results of an empirical study of Moldovan youth on the perception of their group in the past, present and future. The sample consisted of 200 respondents, Moldovans, university students in Chisinau. The basis for dividing the group of Moldovan youth into “optimists” and “pessimists” was their attitude to the future of their ethnic group. An empirical study of the characteristics of the perception of their group in the time perspective among young people of Moldovans revealed a great variability from “optimists”, who accounted for 43%, to “pessimists”, – 29%, which, according to researchers, is a reflection of the socio-cultural transformations taking place in Moldovan society.

Linear Trends

Energy scenarios currently in use for policy advice are based on a number of simplifying assumptions. This includes, in particular, the linear extrapolation of trends. However, this approach ignores the fact that central variables were highly dynamic in the past. For an assessment of energy futures and the specification of measures, novel approaches are necessary which can implement non-linear trends. In this paper, we show how cross-impact balance (CIB) analysis can be applied to map dynamic trends. Using a small CIB model, we highlight the need for novel approaches in the creation and evaluation of energy futures and the possible contribution of CIB analysis.

RETURNING TO UNFAMILIAR PLACES. PLACE AND POSTMEMORY IN THE WORKS OF JACOB DAMMAS, JACOB KOFLER, AND MAJA MAGDALENA SWI-DERSKA | The emigration of three thousand Polish-Jewish citizens to Denmark as a result of the events in March 1968 in Poland has only recently attracted attention from filmmakers and writers in Denmark. Two documentary films and a novel, created within a relatively short period of time, deal with the topic: Jacob Kofler’s Statsløs (Stateless), 2004, Jacob Dammas’ Kredens (Dresser), 2007, and Maja Magdalena Swiderska’s The Border Breaking Bunch, 2008. The authors are all children of refugees and represent second generation in relation to the cultural trauma of exile. The article examines aesthetic approaches developed by the authors as they (re)tell personal stories, which are mediated through various strategies of postmemory (Hirsch 1997). Postmemory is distinguished from memory by a non-indexical relation to the past and a generational distance, and from history by a highly personal approach. However, it is not addressed here as a psychological category. On the contrary, I argue that postmemory can be viewed as both an analytical and a narrative and aesthetic tool. Questions of place and place-related identity are relevant and inseparable from the three authors’ creative reimaginings of the cultural and personal trauma. Thus, the article focuses on the concepts of place and postmemory, and their interdependencies in the analysed works. Close readings are combined with theoretical reflection, which allows the objects and theories to illuminate each other.

SummaryThe validity and applicability of the static margin (stick fixed) Kn,where as defined by Gates and Lyon is shown to be restricted to the conventional flexible aircraft. Alternative suggestions for the definition of static margin are put forward which can be equally applied to the conventional flexible aircraft of the past and the integrated flexible aircraft of the future. Calculations have been carried out on simple slender plate models with both linear and non-linear aerodynamic forces to assess their static stability characteristics.
