Mapping the Futures: Local Cultures, Global Change

by John Bird (Editor), Barry Curtis (Editor), Tim Putnam (Editor), Lisa Tickner (Editor)

Overview

There are now new experiences of space and time; new tensions between globalism and regionalism, socialism and consumerism, reality and spectacle; new instabilities of value, meaning and identity - a dialectic between past and future. How are we to understand these?
Mapping the Futures is the first of a series which brings together cultural theorists from different disciplines to assess the implications of economic, political and social change for intellectual inquiry and cultural practice.
