Space inevitably plays an important role in our social lives. When talking to our neighbours, reading the newspaper, going to the gym, answering an e-mail, we all draw on our presuppositions and understanding of spatiality and temporality. This book illuminates these embedded experiences, questioning how to understand space as a multiple, dynamic, intangible, yet present, form of knowledge. Building from a history of philosophers' and geographers' theories of space, Rob Shields presents the importance of spatialization and cultural topology in social theory and the possibilities that lie within these theoretical tools.

This book demonstrates the spatialized and multi-scalar nature of Islamophobia. It provides ground-breaking insights in recognising the importance of space in the formation of anti-Muslim racism. Through the exploration of complementary data, both from existing quantitative databases and directly from victims of Islamophobia, applied in two important European capitals - Paris and London - this book brings new materials to research on Islamophobia and argues that Islamophobia is also a spatialized process that occurs at various interrelated spatial scales: globe, nation, urban, neighbourhood and body (and mind). In so doing, this book establishes and advances the new concept of Spatialized Islamophobia' by exploring global, national, urban, infra-urban, embodied and emotional Islamophobias as well as their complex interrelationships. It also offer a critical discussion of the geographies of Islamophobia by pointing out the lack of geographical approaches to Islamophobia Studies. By using self-reflexivity, the author raises important questions that may have hampered the study of Spatialized Islamophobia', focusing in particular on the favoured methodologies which too often remain qualitative, as well as on the whiteness of the discipline of Geography which can disrupt the legitimacy of a certain knowledge. The book will be an important reference for those in the fields of Human Geography, Sociology, Politics, Racial Studies, Religious Studies and Muslim studies.

"Le Forum Ouvert crée un espace structuré dans lequel un groupe de personnes peut s'organiser et résoudre des problèmes de façon créative et dynamique. Pragmatique, son but est de retrouver la créativité et l'autenthicité des pauses-café pour donner en peu de temps des solutions à des thématiques même complexes grâce à la liberté d'expression et l'auto-organisation des personnes concernées. Son utilisation booste la créativité et la prise d'initiative de ses participants, la co-responsablilité et l'émergence d'idée innovantes. Forum Ouvert en chiffres : 1985 : création par Harrison Owen. 1991 : 1er Forum Ouvert organisé en France par le groupe Accor. 145 : nombre de pays où se sont tenues des Forums Ouverts. 5 à plus de 2000 personnes : nombre de participants possibles. 100 000 et bien plus : nombre de Forums Ouverts recensés. 20 minutes : temps moyen nécessaire à la création de l’ordre du jour. 3 heures : temps nécessaire pour expérimenter le Forum Ouvert. 2 jours : durée optimale. Les 4 principes : les personnes qui se présentent sont les bonnes. Ce qui arrive est la seule chose qui pouvait arriver. Ça commence quand ça commence ; quand c’est fini, c’est fini. La loi de la mobilité ou loi des deux pieds : si vous n’êtes ni en train d’apprendre, ni de contribuer, passez à autre chose ! Les animaux totems : les papillons prennent une pause ou réfléchissent , les abeilles font circuler les idées d'atelier en ateliers."
