Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory - Radical Thinkers

Spatial dynamics in contemporary critical theory.

If space and how we perceive it fascinates you, "Postmodern Geographies" by Edward Soja might just be the intellectual adventure you're looking for. Soja masterfully navigates the 'spatial turn' in social theory, enriching familiar concepts with geographical insights. His work breathes new life into Marxist geographies and urban studies, engaging critically with renowned thinkers. Not just theory-heavy, it also applies these ideas to real-world Los Angeles, making it a must-read for those who wish to understand the complexities of space in our modern world.

Description

"One of the most challenging and stimulating books ever written."—David Harvey Postmodern Geographies stands as the cardinal broadcast and defence of theory’s “spatial turn.” From the suppression of space in modern social science and the disciplinary aloofness of geography to the spatial returns of Foucault and Lefebvre and the construction of Marxist geographies alert to urbanization and global development, renowned geographer Edward W. Soja details the trajectory of this turn and lays out its key debates. An expanded critique of historicism and a refined grasp of materialist dialectics bolster Soja’s attempt to introduce geography to postmodernity, animating a series of engagements with Heidegger, Giddens, Castells, and others. Two exploratory essays on the postfordist landscapes of Los Angeles complete the book, offering a glimpse of Soja’s new geography carried into its highest register.
