Spaces of Culture : City, Nation, World, Hardback Book

Spaces of Culture : City, Nation, World Hardback

Edited by Mike Featherstone, Scott M. Lash

Part of the Published in Association with Theory, Culture & Society series

Hardback

Description

In Spaces of Culture an international group of scholars examines the implications of questions such as: What is culture?

What is the relationship between social structure and culture in a globalized and networked world?

Do critical perspectives still apply, or does the speed and complexity of cultural production demand new forms of analysis?They explore the key themes in social theory: the nation state; the city; modernity and reflexivity; post-Fordism and the spatial logic of the informational city.

The contributors go on to analyze the public sphere, questioning the reductive representation of technology as a form of instrumentality, and demonstrating how new technologies can offer new spaces of culture.

This analysis of public space is essential to an understanding of issues like global citizenship and multicultural human rights.
