Recenzje

"This thoughtful and rich volume is edited by two of today's foremost scholars of territoriality and the city. It offers a novel re-visioning of issues of territorial complexity and a wide range of urban examples of spatialised social life across different scales and cultural contexts. A very timely and highly original publication that will be a source of inspiration both for researchers and practitioners across disciplines." Albena Yaneva, University of Manchester, UK

 

"As evinced by the scope and depth of the contributions to this volume, Kärrholm and Brighenti's program for a "non-reductive territoriology" offers a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of territories which promises to provide inspiration and creative openings for groundbreaking research on the nature and implications of territorialization process and practices for many years to come." Jonathan Metzger, KTH Stockholm, Sweden

 

"In times of dramatic planetary changes, it is all the more urgent to reflect on the ontological grounds that orient thinking, sensing, and acting in the world. This volume is a convincing move in this direction. Against the grain of decades of reductionist and politically ambiguous interpretations, Brighenti and Kärrholm prompt us to rethink what territories are, how are they made and by whom, by drawing the lineaments of an original Science of Territory that is transversal to hard and soft science, art, politics, and the everyday. This transdisciplinary ambition is reflected on the impressive theoretical, empirical, and methodological diversity of the original contributions that compose the publication, making it an invaluable tool for conjuring new ways of speculating, researching and imagining the material complexity of socio-natural life."
