L'œuvre de Stephen Legg explore les liens complexes entre la géographie et la société, en examinant comment le pouvoir et la gouvernance se manifestent dans les agencements spatiaux des communautés. Il étudie l'impact profond du colonialisme, en analysant comment les problèmes sociétaux sont façonnés par des politiques gouvernementales et des structures de pouvoir plus larges. L'érudition de Legg offre une lentille critique à travers laquelle comprendre l'interaction complexe de l'espace, du contrôle et de l'expérience humaine. Ses recherches mettent en lumière comment l'organisation de l'espace influence la vie individuelle et façonne les trajectoires historiques.
The aim of this book is to bring together geographers, and Schmitt experts who are attuned to the spatial dimensions of his work, to discuss The Nomos of the Earth in the International Law of the Jus Publicum Europaeum (Schmitt, 1950 [2003]).
Scale, Governmentalities, and Interwar India
Focusing on the spatial politics of brothels in British India during the interwar period, the book explores how reform campaigns shifted from tolerating to suppressing these establishments. By combining insights from sexology and hygiene with moral concerns about sexual slavery, reformers argued that brothels exacerbated social issues rather than contained them. Stephen Legg examines the multifaceted impacts of these campaigns across various scales, revealing how they reshaped urban and colonial boundaries and ultimately led to the civil abandonment of prostitutes.
