Postmodernism has radically challenged the existing notions of time and space.

Discussions on time-spaces in postmodern studies have dealt with a wide variety of topics including architecture, art, music, digital media, cyberspace and literature. The questions of past, present and future; the ideas of three dimensional, congested or elaborate, spaces, have all contributed to postmodern discussions on time-spaces. Unlike modernism, whose time-spaces are, rather more transparently linked with the artistic, cultural and material projects of modernity (Smethurst 2); postmodernism is, affected more by the lack of development, loss of direction, and ambivalent approaches towards the past and the future (Smethurst 2). Time in modernism is future oriented, with its focus on the outcomes or results of modernity in science or arts, and space is abstract, with numerous ideas on the relativity of spaces. The case of postmodernism is entirely different; it seems to be haunted by the sceptre of self-consciousness and the idea that representations of the world more likely form the world (or rather worlds) rather than take their form from it (3). Thus the perception and attempt at representation of time-spaces of the real world in the fictional universe might result in more confusion and chaos. Postmodernism disregards the idea of the historical real world being different from the fictional world, which tries to represent the real world. Postmodernism questions the relevance behind the real and by doing so undertakes on a quest to dismantle modes of perception which might help establish this reality time and space.
