Thinking Space (Paperback, New)

Thinking Space is ideal reading for those looking to learn about the 'spatial turn' in social & cultural theory. As theorists have begun using geographical concepts and metaphors to think about the complex and differentiated world this book looks at a range of social theorists. Contributions from a range of geographical writers each take the work of one thinker, ranging from early this century to contemporary writers. They examine how they use spatial ideas, what role these ideas play in their thinking and what this means for how we think about theory and space. Among the writers discussed are: Georg Simmel, Mikhail Bakhtin, Gilles Deleuze, Helene Cixous, Henri Lefebvre, Jacques Lacan, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault and Franz Fanon.
