The nature of spatial imaginations has become central to a range of
major social and political debates. Narratives on spatial
inequality, from the North-South divide in global economic and
political visions, to marginalisation and 'ghettoisation' in
Western cities, appear regularly in our daily newspapers. Such
examples indicate that issues of space/spatiality are as crucial in
our current societies as never before. 'Space Odysseys' brings
together leading social scientists including John Urry and Derek
Gregory to address a number of central issues in spatiality and
social relations in the early 21st century. Starting from the
presupposition that space is a social dimension and a social
construct, it then presents examples of these conceptions of space
at work. While the book title's indirect reference to the film
'2001: A Space Odyssey' indicates the contributors' interest in
questions of voyages and mobility, the plural use shows that the
approaches to this conceptual exploration are multiple, reflecting
differences in experience, in social context and/or in gender,
class and ethnicity. The book is divided into three main sections.
The first explores issues of 'mobility, immobility and embodied
narratives', the second section deals with 'territoriality,
mobility and identity politics and the final section concludes with
chapters on 'the spatial production of knowledge'.
