This collection seeks to illustrate the state of the art in
territoriological research, both empirical and theoretical. The
volume gathers together a series of original, previously
unpublished essays exploring the newly emerging territorial
formations in culture, politics and society. While the
globalisation debate of the 1990s largely pivoted around a 'general
deterritorialisation' hypothesis, since the 2000s it has become
apparent that, rather than effacing territories, global connections
are added to them, and represent a further factor in the increase
of territorial complexity. Key questions follow, such as: How can
we further the knowledge around territorial complexities and the
ways in which different processes of territorialisation co-exist
and interact, integrating scientific advances from a plurality of
disciplines? Where and what forms does territorial complexity
assume, and how do complex territories operate in specific
instances? Which technological, political and cultural facets of
territories should be tackled to make sense of the life of
territories? How and by what different or combined methods can we
describe territories, and do justice to their articulations and
meanings? How can the territoriological vocabulary relate to
contemporary social theory advancements such as ANT, the
ontological turn, the mobilities paradigm, sensory urbanism, and
atmospheres research? How can territorial phenomena be studied
across disciplinary boundaries? Territories, Environments, Politics
casts a fresh perspective onto a number of key contemporary
socio-spatial phenomena. Refraining from the attempt to ossify
territoriology into some disciplinary straightjacket, the
collection aims to illustrate the scope of current
territoriological research, its domain, its promises, its
theoretical advancements, and its methodological reflection in the
making. Scholars interested in social research will find in this
collection a rich and imaginative theoretical-methodological
toolkit. Students in human geography, anthropology and sociology,
socio-legal studies, architecture and urban planning will find
Territories, Environments, Politics of interest.
