Modernism privileges temporal experience while postmodernism subordinates time to space

Evidence

A certain spatial turn has often seemed to offer one of the more productive ways of distinguishing Postmodernism from modernism proper, whose experience of temporality -existential time, along with deep memory — it is henceforth conventional to see as a dominant of the high modern. … The distinction is between two forms of interrelationship between time and space rather than between these two inseparable categories themselves: even though the postmodern vision of the ideal or heroic schizophrenic (as in Deleuze) marks the impossible effort to imagine something like a pure experience of a spatial present beyond past history and future destiny or project. Yet the ideal schizophrenic’s experience is still one of time, albeit of the eternal Nietzschean present. What one means by evoking its spatialization is rather the will to use and to subject time to the service of space, if that is now the right word for it. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 367
