Space is crucial to geography and is widely used as a concept
across the humanities and social sciences. Space will provide the
first accessible, in-depth textbook which provides a critical
introduction to different geographical approaches to space, tracing
the link between conceptualisations of space and key traditions in
the history and philosophy of geography, as well as broader
thinking in philosophy, the humanities and the social sciences
Consolidates and develops recent debates about how different
species of space co-exist in contemporary geographical thought, as
such it will clarify existing debates and provide useful pointers
for further conceptual and theoretical elaboration. Use of the same
three case studies throughout the various books chapters offers an
excellent strategy for conveying the continuities and
discontinuities that distinguish the ebbs, flows and evaporation of
intellectual currents. It will include 'key idea boxes', 'key
scholar boxes', 'case study boxes' and guides for further reading.
The case studies will include both 'longitudinal' and 'one-off'
examples. Thematic organization provides an effecient and creative
way of synthesizing diverse material and drawing out differences
between theorizations of space and spatiality Each chapter has been
planned so as to demonstrate how space has been approached and
analysed by scholars working in specific traditions of geography
(as well as traditions of thought within the humanities and social
sciences). This will enable the text to be used as a core reading
for compulsory first/second year undergraduate courses on the
'history and philosophy of geography' and 'theory and methodology
in geography' the book draws upon the author's own theoretical
research on theories of space and spatiality, to advance original
arguments as to what space is and what spacing and spatiality
entail
