Exploring the critical potential of place in continental philosophy, this volume focuses on socio-political and historical context to challenge traditional approaches to place rooted in geography and phenomenology. Chapters on capitalist time, the space-time of slave resistance, the place of thought, and the place of structure point to the ambiguity inherent in philosophical notions of place. By rejecting a singular and homogenous theory of place, this collection collapses the dichotomies that tend to characterise the discourse on place in favour of a plural conceptualisation. This plurality draws attention to the spatial and temporal dynamics within varying theoretical and historical contexts and moves the field forward in significant and vital ways.
