There is the rise of moving pictures which provide new forms of locomotive magic which intensify action (Moore, 2000). There are developments in the human sciences. 3 But the point is that these developments should not be read as simple reflections of one another, adding up to a kind of intellectual earthquake in which TimeSpace takes on an entirely new form but rather as something more hesitant, less brash. 4 For Bergson shows both the strengths and the weaknesses of this style of thinking. Bergson is, of course, known for his attention to time – but a different kind of time from the succession of instants supposedly characteristic of scientific knowledges.
In the latter seventeenth century such a discourse was essentially spatialised, such that manufacturing activities at Etruria might be compared to systems of production found elsewhere. But by the end of the eighteenth century their orientation had changed to one more concerned with questions of time, with contemporaries recording the improvements made to Wedgwood’s works and the surrounding area over the past hundred years or so. In tracing changes in the writings of contemporary authors concerned with describing a new system of manufacturing production Hetherington thus in fact traces the emergence of the first explicit articulation of ideas of Modernisation and Progress that were to prove central to social thought for the next hundred and fifty years.
Yet, even a short period of reflection suggests that it is unlikely that the TimeSpace of the Western city can be encompassed by just one account. It is not so much one big screen but many tiny windows. Take just one example, from Benjamin’s avatar, Freud. As Crary (1999: 365) describes it, in 1907 Freud wrote home from Rome describing the life of the crowded Piazza Colonna on a warm autumn evening. He evoked an urban scene in which an individual and a collective affect take shape in a multiplicity of images, sounds, crowds, vectors, pathways, and information, and his letter documents one particular attempt at cognitively managing and organising that overloaded field.
