TextPublisher number: : International Book Distributors | : Flat No. 17, Prakash Apartment, Building No.-4405/2.Publication details: , London : Routledge , 2000Description: xvii, 301 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cmISBN: 9780415184359Subject(s): Human geography | Political science | Science politique | Spatial BehaviorDDC classification: 303.3 SHA Summary: This book argues that practices of resistance cannot be separated from practices of domination, and that they are always entangled in some configuration. They are inextricably linked, such that one always bears at least a trace of the other that contaminates or subverts it. The team of contributors explore themes of identity, embodiment, organisation, colonialism, and political transformation, examining them from historical, contemporary and more abstract perspectives within a wide geographical and cultural spectrum. Case studies include German Reunification; Jamaican Yardies on British Television; Victorian Sexuality and Moralisation in Cremorne Gardens; Ethnicity, Gender and Nation in Ecuador; Sport as Power; the film Falling Down. Entanglements of Power presents an exciting and challenging account of the symbiotic relationship between domination and resistance, and contextualises this within the parameters of geography with a rich body of case-study material and a respected team of contributors.
