Abstract

Space had been obscured in the academic explanation for a long time. Social scientists used to put emphasis on sociological and historical explanations of socio-economic processes rather than geographical explanation ones (Soja in seeking spatial justice. University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, 2010). However, with the introduction of critical social theory in geography after the 1970s, a diffusion of spatial thinking or, in other words, a spatial turn in social science was witnessed and carried forward vigorously by scholars from various disciplines (see Warf and Aries in The spatial turn: interdisciplinary perspectives. Routledge, New York, 2008).
