{"product_id":"thinking-of-space-relationally-xiaoxue-gao-9783837655872","title":"Thinking of Space Relationally: Critical Realism Beyond Relativism - A Multitude Study of the Artworld in Beijing","description":"Since the spatial and relational turns in the social sciences, it has become self-evident that one needs to combat methodological universalism and nationalism and explain the constitution of space relationally. Following the sociology of knowledge approach, Xiaoxue Gao takes relational spatial theories as  travelling conceptual knowledge', distinguishes them, and reflects on the  epistemic fallacy' which arises from re-contextualising them uncritically in studying contemporary urban space in China. Taking Critical Realism as a meta-theory, this book offers a methodology which leaps productively from causal hypotheses in plural travelling theories to explanations of locally observable events. It is exemplified in interrogating the poly-contextual formation of the artworld in Beijing as a conjunctive multiplicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xiaoxue Gao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837655873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837655872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Xiaoxue Gao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982444593407,"sku":"9783837655872","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdef8292-040b-4741-a618-6ceb5a159421.jpg?v=1683261196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinking-of-space-relationally-xiaoxue-gao-9783837655872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
