Time and Space in Ghost Metropolis

677
While the work has a pronounced chronological structure, narrating the ways that previous generations inscribed the Los Angeles landscape with their cultures, power, and freedom, erecting ghostlike structures that shape the lives of all subsequent generations, many topoi in the structures of human spacetime collapse time or confer on it an uneven topology. The "distance" felt between generations and the calendar years that elapse, varies enormously, so many network connections identify transmissions of social power whose presence is felt independently of the years that have passed.
