// Contemporary critical studies have experienced a significant spatial turn. In what may be seen as one of the most important intellectual and political developments in the late twentieth century, scholars have begun to interpret space and the spatiality of human life with the same critical insight and emphasis that has traditionally been given to time and history on the one hand, and to social relations and society on the other. Thirdspoce is both an enquiry into the origins and impact of this spatial turn and an attempt to expand the scope and practical relevance of how we think about space and such related concepts as place, location, landscape, architecture, environment, home, city, region, territory and geography. // The book’s central argument is that spatial thinking has tended to be bicameral - confined to two approaches. Spatiality is either seen as concrete material forms to be mapped, analyzed, and explained; or as mental constructs, ideas about and representations of space and its social significance. Edward Soja reevaluates this dualism to create an alternative approach, one that comprehends both the material and mental dimensions of spatiality but which also moves beyond them to new and different modes of spatial thinking. // Thirdspoce is composed as a sequence of intellectual and empirical journeys. It begins with a spatial biography of Henri Lefebvre and his conceptualization of social space as perceived, conceived, and lived. The author draws on Lefebvre to

describe a "trialectics" of spatiality that threads through all subsequent journeys, reappearing in bell hooks’s exploration of the margins as a space of radical openness; in feminist interpretations of the interplay of race, class, and gender; in the postcolonial critique and the new cultural politics of difference and identity; in Michel Foucault’s heterotopologies and trialectics of space, knowledge, and power; and in interpretive tours of the Citadel of downtown Los Angeles, the Exopolis of Orange County, and the Centrum of Amsterdam. // Born in the Bronx and nurtured in its dense diversities, Edward Soja was a street geographer by the time he was ten and a doctoral student in Geography at Syracuse University just after turning twenty-one. For the next two decades, he specialized in the political geography of modernization and nation-building in Africa, holding visiting appointments at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and at the University of Nairobi, Kenya. After seven years of teaching at Northwestern University, he joined the Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning, UCLA, in 1972. He has twice been department chair in Urban Planning and, for nine years, was the Associate Dean. For the past fifteen years, he has been writing about the postmodernization of Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife Maureen and children, Christopher and Erika, // Cover artwork: The cover and spine were designed by Antonis Ricos and Edward W.
