The public library and the futures of social infrastructure
The current abundance of geographical research on social infrastructure has drawn renewed attention to the enduring importance of a range of public services, including the public library. However, these works have not engaged at length with the infrastructural futures of such services, neither in their ongoing vulnerability, nor with what they may illuminate, or already contain of possible and more radical urban futures. This commentary considers the future of social infrastructure: the viability of the physical spaces themselves, and the need for the theoretical concept to engage more explicitly with questions of temporality.
期刊介绍:
Dialogues in Human Geography aims to foster open and critical debate on the philosophical, methodological, and pedagogical underpinnings of geographic thought and practice. The journal publishes articles, accompanied by responses, that critique current thinking and practice while charting future directions for geographic thought, empirical research, and pedagogy. Dialogues is theoretically oriented, forward-looking, and seeks to publish original and innovative work that expands the boundaries of geographical theory, practice, and pedagogy through a unique format of open peer commentary. This format encourages engaged dialogue. The journal's scope encompasses the broader agenda of human geography within the context of social sciences, humanities, and environmental sciences, as well as specific ideas, debates, and practices within disciplinary subfields. It is relevant and useful to those interested in all aspects of the discipline.
