Shared spatial and temporal rhythms constitute group identity itself, not just its symbols
Evidence
Symbolic orderings of space and time provide a framework for experience through which we learn who or what we are in society. ‘The reason why submission to the collective rhythms is so rigorously demanded,’ writes Bourdieu (1977, 1 63), ‘is that the temporal forms or the spatial structures structure not only the group’s representation of the world but the group itself, which orders itself in accordance with this representation.’ — David Harvey, The Condition of Postmodernity, 1341
