Abstract
Philip Ethington's ambitious paper rightly emphasizes the inextricable connection of time and space, making the point that without a sense of space, historians cannot understand their key concern of time. Yet he underplays the importance of experience and more importantly his framing of issues freezes time in space. He emphasizes time and being, but history's concern is being in time, doing in time. The challenge of what he offers is how to give it narrative force and enrich its spatial connections, with one possibility being Actor – Network Theory.
