Beschreibung
This book explores the importance of freedom and liberalism in the context of socialities, individualities and materialities. The authors provide a highly unusual and innovative blending of concepts about space and landscape through a deeply theoretical exploration of liberalism.
Liberalism is often problematized in contemporary discussions with regard to gentrification, environmental problems and inequality. In contrast, this book refers to a liberalism that maximizes life chances in the context of dealing with spaces. A connection between freedom and space, based on liberal ideas, provides a much needed theoretical intervention in the fields of social and spatial sciences.
Olaf Kühne is Professor of Geography at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany.
Karsten Berr is Scientific Employee at Eberhard Karls University ofTübingen, Germany
Corinna Jenal is Research Assistant and Academic Councillor of Geography at Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany
