Certain bizarre spaces, where disruption or disarray rule, leave us estranged and ''out of place''. This book examines such spaces, highlighting the emotional and mediated geographies of uncertainty and the state of being ''in-between''; of cognitive displacement, loss, fear, or exhilaration. It expands on why space is sometimes estranging and for whom it is strange. It is the first book to link strangeness and spatial production, as well as empirical explorations of strange spaces within a profound theoretical discussion of ''what is strange about strange spaces'' and how they evolve in a modern media age.
Industry Reviews
'The order of space is always at odds with myths of social order. In this courageous book, an interdisciplinary range of authors formulate a richer language for understanding the culture of space and the space of culture. This important contribution to communication studies and cultural geography should be widely read.' Nick Couldry, University of London, UK 'Strange Spaces splendidly shows why and for whom specfic places and situations can be alienating. It is essential reading for those concerned with making and understanding inclusive public places and urban developments.' Rob Shields, University of Alberta, Canada
