Postmodern heterogeneity is spatial rather than temporal, filed by place not history

Evidence

Different moments in historical or existential time are here simply filed in different places; the attempt to combine them even locally does not slide up and down a temporal scale (except to the degree that the spatial character of these figures here comes due and presents its bill) but jumps back and forth across a game board that we conceptualize in terms of distance. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 795
