Astana, the capital city of the post-Soviet Kazakhstan, has often
been admired for the design and planning of its futuristic
cityscape. This anthropological study of the development of the
city focuses on every-day practices, official ideologies and
representations alongside the memories and dreams of the city's
longstanding residents and recent migrants. Critically examining a
range of approaches to place and space in anthropology, geography
and other disciplines, the book argues for an understanding of
space as inextricably material-and-imaginary, and unceasingly
dynamic - allowing for a plurality of incompatible pasts and
futures materialized in spatial form.
