Spatial Social Thought: Local Knowledge in Global Science Encounters

Front Cover
Michael Kuhn, Kazumi Okamoto
Columbia University Press, 2013 - Philosophy - 331 pages
This volume presents perspectives on spatially construed knowledge systems and their struggle to interrelate. Western social sciences tend to be wrapped up in very specific, exclusionary discourses, and Northern and Southern knowledge systems are sidelined. Spatial Social Thought reimagines the social sciences as a place of encounter between all spatially bound, parochial knowledge systems.
