Spatial Practices makes a timely and significant contribution to the growing literature on social/spatial theory. In it the notion of spacial practice takes on a rich and layered meaning for some of America's leading scholars as they critically link the theoretical practices of the space of their disciplines to the practical social space of everyday political and economic urban life. Original essays provide compelling insights into the space of racial politics, the unavoidability of recognizing a radical planning practice, and the imagistic face of the contemporary "figured" city. The reader will find rich conceptual tools presented in discussions that grapple with issues raised by the production of reduced public space in common interest developments and the ubiquitous mall, the ideologies of economic restructuring, the rhetorical politics of urban revitalization, and the analytic potential of the photo/text. Students and scholars interested in how spatial theory has enriched and renewed urban theory will find Spatial Practices invaluable. It will be useful in a wide range of classes across disciplines including urban studies, urban planning, architecture, political science, sociology, geography, economics, and policy studies. "This collection explores the exciting analytical edge where investigations of urban political economy converge with cultural studies. In their exploration of theory and practice as they relate to the production of space, the authors cover a dazzling range of topics. Yet despite their varying preoccupations, the essays merge into a unified inquiry that reveals the functions and meanings of contemporary spatial forms. All those who are interested in the forces shaping urban and regional development, as well as in the impact of space on social relations, must read this book." --Susan S. Fainstein, Rutgers University "Spatial Practices, at the very least, provokes consideration of how, for example, symbolic everyday and representational space are constituted through sites of everyday practice such as housing and the home." --Housing Studies
Whose Middle Ages? is an interdisciplinary collection of short,
accessible essays intended for the nonspecialist reader and ideal
for teaching at an undergraduate level. Each of twenty-two essays
takes up an area where digging for meaning in the medieval past has
brought something distorted back into the present: in our popular
entertainment; in our news, our politics, and our propaganda; and
in subtler ways that inform how we think about our histories, our
countries, and ourselves. Each author looks to a history that has
refused to remain past and uses the tools of the academy to read
and re-read familiar stories, objects, symbols, and myths. Whose
Middle Ages? gives nonspecialists access to the richness of our
historical knowledge while debunking damaging misconceptions about
the medieval past. Myths about the medieval period are especially
beloved among the globally resurgent far right, from crusading
emblems on the shields borne by alt-right demonstrators to the
on-screen image of a purely white European populace defended from
actors of color by Internet trolls. This collection attacks these
myths directly by insisting that readers encounter the relics of
the Middle Ages on their own terms. Each essay uses its author’s
academic research as a point of entry and takes care to explain how
the author knows what she or he knows and what kinds of tools,
bodies of evidence, and theoretical lenses allow scholars to write
with certainty about elements of the past to a level of detail that
might seem unattainable. By demystifying the methods of scholarly
inquiry, Whose Middle Ages? serves as an antidote not only to the
far right’s errors of fact and interpretation but also to its
assault on scholarship and expertise as valid means for the
acquisition of knowledge.
