Temporal connectivities: A scoping study of the available research on time and community

尽管在一些最紧迫的问题，连接和归属感的社会机制的时间性的复杂和广泛的作用，对“时间”和“社区”的研究仍然是支离破碎的和欠发达的。因此，本研究报告的目的是更好地了解目前有哪些研究，并确定跨领域和新出现的主题以及任何重大差距。这项研究利用基于桌面的研究和协作研讨会，以产生一个快速的“映射”，或概述，广泛的相关研究。研究中纳入了885篇参考文献，其中85篇证明具有高度相关性。从这个样本中推断出时间和社区之间的11个关键分析联系。由于纳入了更广泛的参考资料，出现了一些贯穿各领域的关切问题，包括时间在社会包容和排斥、社会变革的可能性以及社会行动的合法性和评价方面的作用。该研究的成果包括一份附有注释的书目资源，其中的参考文献根据六项关键标准进行了编码，合作研讨会上产生的其他资源（可从项目网站上获得）以及一篇关于该研究的文章。

Despite the complicated and wide-ranging role of temporality in some of the most pressing questions about social mechanisms of connectivity and belonging, the research on 'time' and 'community' has remained fragmented and underdeveloped. The aim of this study, then, is to gain a better sense of what research is currently available and to identify cross-cutting and emerging themes, as well as any significant gaps. This study utilised desk-based research and a collaborative workshop to produce a rapid 'mapping', or overview, of an extensive range of relevant research. 885 references were included in the study, with 85 proving to be highly relevant. Eleven key analytical links between time and community were inferred from this sample. With the inclusion of a broader selection of references, a number of cross-cutting concerns emerging, including the role of time in social inclusion and exclusion, in the possibilities of social change and in the legitimation and evaluation of social action. The outcomes of the study include an annotated bibliographic resource, with references coded according to six key criteria, further resources produced at the collaborative workshop (available from the project website) and an article length write-up of the study.
