Title: SPACE ODYSSEYS: SPATIALITY AND SOCIAL RELATIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY; ED. BY JORGEN OLE BAERENHOLDT
Description: "Space Odysseys brings together leading social scientists including John Urry and Derek Gregory to address a number of central issues in spatiality and social relations in the early 21st century. Starting from the presupposition that space is a social dimension and a social construct, it then presents examples of these conceptions of space at work. While the book title's indirect reference to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey indicates the contributors' interest in questions of voyages and mobility, the plural use shows that the approaches to this conceptual exploration are multiple, reflecting differences in experience, in social context and/or in gender, class and ethnicity."--Jacket.
