  • - Unlocking the Usable Carceral Past

    This is the first book to provide a comprehensive historical-geographical lens to the development and evolution of correctional institutions as a specific subset of carceral geographies.

    This is the first book to bring together an interdisciplinary, theoretically engaged and global perspective on the First World War through the lens of historical geography.

The book also critically examines the politics of hindsight in the post-war period, and offers an historical geographical account of how the First World War has been memorialised within `official¿ spaces as well as many of the `alternative spaces¿ of commemoration that are often overlooked and undervalued.

    ''Hurry'' is an intrinsic component of modernity. It exists not only in tandem with modern constructions of mobility, speed, rhythm, and time-space compression, but also with infrastructures, technologies, practices, and emotions associated with the experience of the ''mobilizing modern''. ''Hurry'' is not simply speed. It may result in congestion, slowing-down, or inaction in the face of over-stimulus. Speeding-up is often competitive: faster traffic on better roads made it harder for pedestrians to cross, or for horse-drawn vehicles and cyclists to share the carriageway with motorized vehicles. Focusing on the cultural and material manifestations of ''hurry'', the book''s contributors analyse the complexities, tensions, and contradictions inherent in the impulse to higher rates of circulation in modernizing cities. The collection includes, but also goes beyond, accounts of new forms of mobility (bicycles, buses, underground trains) and infrastructure (street layouts and surfaces, business exchanges, and hotels) to show how modernity''s ''architectures of hurry'' have been experienced, represented, and practised since the mid nineteenth century. Ten case studies explore different expressions of ''hurry'' across cities and urban regions in Asia, Europe, and North and South America, and substantial introductory and concluding chapters situate ''hurry'' in the wider context of modernity and mobility studies and reflect on the future of ''hurry'' in an ever-accelerating world. This diverse collection will be relevant to researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of planning, cultural and historical geography, urban history, and urban sociology.
