Hybrid Geographies : Natures Cultures Spaces
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Hybrid Geographies is a critical examination of the relation between culture and nature; the human and the non-human; the social and the material. The text demonstrates that culture and nature are not antitheses: they are intimately and variously linked. General arguments - informed by recent work in social theory - are illustrated throughout with detailed case-study material that shows how nature are culture are interrelated. The objective is to interrogate how ideas and practices mark off and regulate the commerce between the human and the non-human. Case studies that demonstrate the argument include an examination of genetically modified foods; a discussion of the idea of 'wildlife'; and an inquiry into the management of wilderness spaces. Hybrid Geographies will be essential reading for all students in the social sciences with an interest in nature, space and social theory.
