Digital Geographies - Grand Format

Geography is experiencing a digital turn. The digital has become an object, subject and tool of geographical inquiry, and has pervasively inflected geographic thought, scholarship and practice. In mediating tasks such as work, travel, consumption, production and leisure, digital technologies are having profound effects on phenomena that are of immediate concern to geographers : shifts in the space economy, the governance of places, the production of space and the contours of spatial knowledge, imaginaries and politics.
In 25 short chapters, this book provides an overview of geography's engagement with the digital and highlights the insights that the discipline offers to the study of digital phenomena. Organised into five thematic parts - on spaces, methods, cultures, economies and politics - leading experts present analyses of key geographical concepts as contextualised by the digital world. Bringing together scholarship from across a range of intellectual traditions, this book is the ideal starting point and guide to studying digital geographies.
