Summary/Abstract: Space and Time in Sociological Perspective. The article provides sociological analysis of time and space (space-time) and their relations to developmental changes in a rather unusual autobiographical context. In social science, the phenomenon of social space and time is highlighted mainly in the context of themes such as environment, technological development, or changes in social space. The article is based on a historical perspective which enables us to better understand the current modes of using and changing social spaces – human settlements and regions in particular. The author reflects on changes in social space, focusing on the issues of social interactions, urban space, second literacy, cyberspace, and communicative simultaneity. These are discussed in relation to both the global economic crisis and specific Slovak conditions. Sociológia 2009, Vol. 41 (No. 4: 285-303)
