Abstract
Harold Innis saw time and space as always in association but unequally and, in the long run, with a shift from a temporal to a spatial bias. How `true' today? And if true, how useful? Time-space scenarios from a variety of cultures and different historical epochs are considered. Our contemporary situation seems better understood by some notion like `cultural scrambling' in which linear and cyclical time and presentness are all there, in a world of unprecedented spatial dimension.Keywords
