{"product_id":"nonrepresentational-theory","title":"Nonrepresentational Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNon-representational Theory\u003c\/em\u003e explores a range of ideas which have recently engaged geographers and have led to the development of an alternative approach to the conception, practice, and production of geographic knowledge. Non-representational Theory refers to a key body of work that has emerged in geography over the past two and a half decades that emphasizes the importance of practice, embodiment, materiality, and process to the ongoing formation of social life. This title offers the first sole-authored, accessible introduction to this work and its impact on geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout being prescriptive the text provides a general explanation of what Non-representational Theory is. This includes discussion of the disciplinary context it emerged from, the key ideas and themes that characterise work associated with Non-representational Theory, and the theoretical points of reference that inspires it. The book then explores a series of conjunctions of ‘Non-representational Theory and...’, taking an area of geographic enquiry and exploring the impact Non-representational Theory has had on how it is researched and understood. This includes the relationships between Non-representational Theory and Practice, Affect, Materiality, Landscape, Performance, and Methods. Critiques of Non-representational Theory are also broached, including reflections on issues on identity, power, and difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text draws together the work of a range of established and emerging scholars working on the development of non-representational theories, allowing scholars from geography and other disciplines to access and assess the animating potential of such work. This volume is essential reading for undergraduates and post-graduate students interested in the social, cultural, and political geographies of everyday living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57384062648702,"sku":"NW9781138552197","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781138552197.jpg?v=1778636555","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/nonrepresentational-theory","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
