Descripción Softcover. Condición: Neu. Edward W. Soja. Postmodern Geographies. The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory. London/NY 1988.2001. Seventh impression. 235:153mm. 266S. Brosch. "Postmodern Geographies contests the tendency, still dominant in most social science, to reduce human geography to a reflective mirror, or, as Marx called it, an ?unnecessary complication.? Beginning with a powerful critique of historicism and its constraining effects on the geographical imagination, Edward Soja builds on the work Foucault, Berger, Giddens, Berman, Jameson and, above all, Henri Lefebvre, to argue for a historical and geographical materialism, a radical rethinking of the dialectics of space, time and social being. Postmodern social transformations involve a reordering of space: speed and accessibiliy triumph over distance, though the shrinking of the world can lead to strong barriers being placed beween margins and centers from either side. The postmodern geography of Los Angeles, exposed in a provocative pair of essays, serves as a model in his account of the contemporary struggle for control over the social production of space.". Bibliographie, Index. Nº de ref. del artículo: 080018
