About this product

Product Information

This ambitious and original work is the first sustained attempt to integrate poststructuralist thought with the considerable insights of critical human geography. Marcus Doel seeks not to make conventional approximations of poststructuralist concepts but rather to rethink and to rewrite the world through them. His goal is to refound spatial science as a discipline integrated with the social and natural sciences--replete with human attributes of value, meaning, feeling, fearing, and creating--and shaped by the "diabolical arts" of thinkers such as Deleuze, Guattari, Baudrillard, Derrida, and Lyotard. New geography, this book shows, has once again become possible. Doel draws out and develops the inherent spatiality at the heart of postmodern and poststructuralist perspectives, fashioning a virtuosic and thought-provoking account of the fundamental difference that space, place, context, and milieu make to how we understand and engage with the world and others around us. Developing the radical consequences of his approach across a range of accessible examples, from film to quantum mechanics, he vividly demonstrating the transformative and enlightening qualities of his argument. Through its goal of reshaping the nature and practice of geography, Poststructural Geographies will interest all critical geographers, and its ambitious theoretical agenda will make the book essential reading across cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy.

A major work. The book will have a very strong impact in geography: even those who don't like it will be forced to acknowledge it. It is well written and, most important, different., A necessary point of passage for every geographer working with critical social theory, and is unlikely to be improved upon as a serious introduction to poststructuralism., Poststructuralist Geographies will make a highly significant impact within geography, as well as send shockwaves throughout cultural studies, sociology, continental philosophy, and other disciplines that have been touched by poststructuralism. Doel's virtuosic grasp of poststructuralist theory, together with his unsurpassed ability to think through the implications of its thought styles for fundamental concepts, give to the book a potentially devastating impact. This is a major agenda-setting text, persuasively written, and the first to consider seriously and rigorously the implications of poststructuralist thought for the study of society, space, and time., An excellent book, one that reveals an acutely 'scholarly' mind at work. ...It is undoubtedly a landmark statement.
