What is included with this book?
This book seeks to understand the coexistence of bodily regimes and the politics that emerge from the clash between them:
Steve Pile teaches Geography at The Open University, UK. Publishing on issues concerning place and the politics of identity, Steve is the author of Real Cities (2005) and The Body and The City (1996), which both develop a psychoanalytic approach to geography. It is through these projects that he became interested in bodies and affects and their relationship to contemporary modernity. His many collaborative projects include Psychoanalytic Geographies (2014) edited with Paul Kingsbury, and Spaces of Spirituality (2018) edited with Nadia Bartolini and Sara MacKian.
