Social theory; Political ideologies; Political geography

Herbert Marcuse was a philosopher and one of the leading social and political theorists of the 20th century. This fresh appraisal of his work foregrounds its geographical aspects for the first time.

Margath A. Walker considers how Marcusean philosophies might challenge the way we think about space and politics and create new sensibilities. Applying them to contemporary geopolitics, digital infrastructure and issues like resistance and immigration, the book shows how social change has been stifled, and how Marcuse’s philosophies could provide the tools to overturn the status quo. 

She demonstrates Marcuse’s relevance to individuals and society, and finds this important theorist of opposition can point the way to resisting oppressive forces within contemporary capitalism.

Reviews for Spatializing Marcuse: Critical Theory for Contemporary Times

Moving clearly between philosophy, social theory, and a range of contemporary examples, this is a compelling political and geographical account of why Herbert Marcuse's work remains of enduring importance today. Stuart Elden, University of Warwick
