Ebook: Raum: Eine kulturwissenschaftliche Einführung

The spatial turn and its consequences: Against the backdrop of the historical foundation of the turn to space at the beginning of the 21st Century, Stephan Günzel carves out the relevant lines of distortion the current debate shows, systematically declining the various aspects of spatialization by taking Henri Lefebvre's theory of the production of social space as an example. The delimitation of individual versions of the spatial turn distinctly shows the discipline-specific interests in space, making an interdisciplinary suggestion concerning its methodical examination based on topological structures possible. This book does not only provide a systematic overview of the spatial turn but also presents the theories about space by Ratzel, Simmel, Lewin, Heidegger, McLuhan, Levinas, Foucault, Spencer Brown, Bourdieu, Deleuze, de Certeau and others, which makes it particularly suitable for academic studies and teachings.
