Society, Action and Space questions the relevance of space for the social world. It focuses upon issues which are at the centre of important debates in human/social geography. Over recent years one of the most significant developments in social analysis has been the increasing interchange between geographers, sociologists, anthropologists and social philosophers concerning the spatial. This debate involves the work of Giddens, Foucault, Bourdieu, Lefebvre, Harvey, Gregory, Soja and many others. As a result of these new developments a whole series of new forms of empirical work as well as...

This book offers new perspectives of transdisciplinary research, in methodological as well as theoretical respects. It provides insights in the two-fold bio-physical and the socio-cultural global embeddedness of local living conditions on the basis of selected empirical studies from Latin America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe. The theoretical foundations of ecological research and sustainability policies were developed at the end of the nineteenth century. They are largely based on investigations of living spaces and the evolution and differentiation of varied life forms. This...

The chapters contain theoretical frameworks as well as experimental outcomes.
Readers will gain insight into key questions such as: How does knowledge function as a prerequisite for action? Why are knowledge gaps growing and not diminishing in a knowledge society? How much knowledge is necessary for...
