Direction and Socio-spatial Theory : A Political Economy of Oriented Practice / by Matthew G. Hannah. - First edition. - 1 online resource (232 pages) : 50 illustrations, text file, PDF. - Routledge Research in Place, Space and Politics . - Routledge Research in Place, Space and Politics. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Part I: Foundations -- 1. Political economies of attention -- 2. Toward a political phenomenology of attention -- 3. The directedness of practice -- Part II: Turning-in-the-world -- 4. Turning subject -- 5. Turning-as-relation: direction, alienation and montage -- 6. Turning and reification -- Part III: Direction, socio-spatial theory and ethics -- 7. Occupation and directed practice: outline of a political economy -- 8. Visualizing directed social practice -- Conclusion: ethics and directional responsibility.
The embodied directedness of human practice has long been neglected in critical socio-spatial theory, in favor of analyses focused upon distance and proximity. This book illustrates the absence of a sense for direction in much theoretical discourse and lays important groundwork for redressing this lacuna in socio-spatial theory. Many accounts of the social world are incomplete, or are increasingly out of step with recent developments of neoliberal capitalism. Not least through new technological mediations of production and consumption, the much-discussed waning of the importance of physical distance has been matched by the increasing centrality of turning from one thing to another as a basic way in which lives are structured and occupied. A sensibility for embodied processes of turning, and for phenomena of direction more generally, is urgently needed. Chapters develop wide-ranging and original engagements with the arguments of Sara Ahmed, Jonathan Beller, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Virginia Held, Bernard Stiegler, Theodore Schatzki, Rahel Jaeggi, Hartmut Rosa and David Harvey. This book reinterprets practice, embodiment, alienation, reification, social reproduction and ethical responsibility from a directional perspective. It will be a new valuable resource and reference for political and social geography students, as well as sociologists and anthropologists.
