Poststructuralist Geographies

Autor Marcus Doel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 1999
This ambitious and original work is the first sustained attempt to integrate poststructuralist thought with critical human geography. Marcus DoelOs goal is to refound spatial science as a discipline integrated with the social and natural sciences_replete with human attributes of value, meaning, feeling, fearing and creating_and shaped by the Odiabolical artsO of thinkers such as Deleuze, Guattari, Baudrillard, Derrida, and Lyotard. The author draws out the inherent spatiality at the heart of postmodern and poststructuralist perspectives, fashioning a provocative account of the fundamental difference that space, place, context, and milieu make to how we understand and engage with the world. The bookOs goal of reshaping the nature and practice of geography will interest all critical geographers, and its ambitious theoretical agenda will make it essential reading across cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy.

Recenzii

An excellent book, one that reveals an acutely 'scholarly' mind at work. ...It is undoubtedly a landmark statement. -- Chris Philo, University of Glasgow A major work. The book will have a very strong impact in geography: even those who don't like it will be forced to acknowledge it. It is well written and, most important, different. -- Nigel Thrift, University of Bristol A necessary point of passage for every geographer working with critical social theory, and is unlikely to be improved upon as a serious introduction to poststructuralism. Annals of the Association of American Geographers Poststructuralist Geographies will make a highly significant impact within geography, as well as send shockwaves throughout cultural studies, sociology, continental philosophy, and other disciplines that have been touched by poststructuralism. Doel's virtuosic grasp of poststructuralist theory, together with his unsurpassed ability to think through the implications of its thought styles for fundamental concepts, give to the book a potentially devastating impact. This is a major agenda-setting text, persuasively written, and the first to consider seriously and rigorously the implications of poststructuralist thought for the study of society, space, and time. -- David B. Clarke, University of Leeds
