- Summary:
- Space inevitably plays an important role in our social lives. When talking to our neighbours, reading the newspaper, going to the gym, answering an e-mail, we all draw on our presuppositions and understanding of spatiality and temporality. This book illuminates these embedded experiences, questioning how to understand space as a multiple, dynamic, intangible, yet present, form of knowledge. Building from a history of philosophers' and geographers' theories of space, Rob Shields presents the importance of spatialization and cultural topology in social theory and the possibilities that lie within these theoretical tools.
