History's motion : on absolute time and space in Tibet
Tan, Gillian G. 2011, History's motion : on absolute time and space in Tibet. In Hage, Ghassan and Kowal, Emma (ed), Force, movement, intensity : the Newtonian imagination in the humanities and social sciences, Melbourne University Press, Melbourne, Vic, pp.163-175.
On-going contestations to establish the hegemonic narrative of Tibet's history rest on the shared assumption that a true narrative, or history's motion, exists. This essay suggests that history's motion is a continuing legacy of Newton's concepts of absolute time and space, even while the current disputes over Tibet's history point to the limitations of these concepts in practice.
