Abstract

A response by Göde Both to Malve Jacobsen's Temporalities of Assembling Transport Systems: Presences and Absences in a Planning Process

Review

This article, titled "A response by Göde Both," directly engages with Malve Jacobsen's preceding work, "Temporalities of Assembling Transport Systems: Presences and Absences in a Planning Process." As indicated by its title and abstract, this piece is not a standalone research paper presenting novel empirical data or original theoretical frameworks, but rather a critical commentary. Such responses are a vital component of scholarly discourse, fostering immediate feedback, clarification, and the iterative development of ideas within a specific research area, in this case, the complex interplay of time, systems assembly, and planning processes within transport studies. Given its nature, Göde Both's contribution will likely reside in its ability to critically analyze, expand upon, or potentially challenge specific arguments or conceptualizations presented in Jacobsen's original paper. Readers can anticipate an in-depth engagement with themes such as the various "temporalities" involved in transport system assembly, the "presences and absences" that shape planning outcomes, or the methodological approaches employed by Jacobsen. The value of this response is intrinsically linked to its success in illuminating ambiguities, offering alternative interpretations, or bringing new perspectives to the discussion, thereby enriching the intellectual landscape surrounding transport planning research. A full appreciation of Both's arguments will, naturally, require familiarity with Jacobsen's initial contribution. Ultimately, Göde Both's response serves an important function in demonstrating the dynamic and iterative nature of academic inquiry. It underscores the importance of peer-to-peer critique and intellectual exchange as mechanisms for advancing knowledge and refining theoretical understandings within a given field. While not introducing entirely new empirical findings, its strength lies in deepening the analytical rigor and conceptual clarity within an existing scholarly conversation. For researchers and practitioners engaged with the sociology of transport, planning studies, or the temporal dimensions of infrastructure development, this response offers a valuable critical perspective that contributes to a more nuanced and robust understanding of the issues initially raised by Malve Jacobsen.
