Steve Pile teaches Geography in the Faculty of Social Sciences at The Open University, UK. He has published on issues concerning place and the politics of identity. He is author of Real Cities (2005) and The Body and The City (1996). He is currently working on early Freudian psychoanalysis and geographies of the body.<p>’This volume derails the common assumption that geography is a simple study of earth's basic inertness. Far more than the topography of volumes and voids, geography concerns itself with a dynamic topology of knots, twists, buckles, and folds, which constitute the relations between earth and earth-bound subjects. Through a variety of psychoanalytic approaches, the essays compellingly demonstrate that the unconscious of these subjects operate as the underside of geographical exteriority.’ Joan Copjec, Brown University, USA ’For anyone looking for a comprehensive guide to the complex relations between psychoanalysis and geography, this is the book! Kingsbury and Pile’s collection is a must read.’ Anthony Elliott, Hawke Research Institute, Australia '... this book has hit the mark in achieving its stated aim to present to readers as wide a set of options for taking psychoanalysis forward in their own work as possible; and, second, to demonstrate the breadth,depth, and promise of cutting-edge work in psychoanalytic geographies' Antipode '... this book is a success. The enthusiasm, promise, and diversity - all pledged by the editors - is evident. ... this is a rich, challenging, and exciting book which assembles a set of provocative, thoughtful, and wide-ranging chapters.'
