Synopsis "Power and Space: Essays on a Shifting Relationship (Routledge Research in Place, Space and Politics) (in English)"
Power and Space sets out the inherently spatial nature of power today and seeks to change the conversation around how power exercises us in the contemporary moment.The essays brought together in this book are a response to the fact that conventional descriptions of power and its ordered geographies no longer chime with our lived experience. Spatiality matters to the workings of power nowadays and this book sheds light on what it is that we face when power is exercised though more subtle, spatially nuanced arrangements. It is divided into three parts, each representing a different kind of engagement with power's relationship to space, from the spatial shifts in the way power is exercised through to its assemblage-like entanglements, and, in turn, its progressive topological character. Throughout the book a wide range of social, political, and economic examples are drawn upon to illustrate a more provisional sense of power, ranging for instance from the seductive logic of privatized public spaces to the attempt by a data analytics company to manipulate political behaviour, through to the offshore spaces invented by rising financial elites to challenge the established banking order.Illustrating the new-found abilities of the powerful to make their presence felt, this book provides an accessible account of the practical workings of power in the present-day. It will be invaluable to students and academics in human geography and urban studies as well as politics, sociology and cultural studies.
