Mapping the Futures Local Cultures, Global Change [Paperback]

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 Futuresis 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.Contributors: David Harvey, Ashraf Ghani, Meaghan Morris, Steven Conner, Micha Bandini, Ruth Levitas, Robert Hewison, Dick Hebdige, Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey, Francis Mulhern, Neil Smith, Iain Chambers, Mike Featherstone, Peter Jackson, Tim Putnam, Jon Bird.
