Stephen Legg je autor, ktorého dielo sa zaoberá komplexným prepojením geografických a spoločenských tém. Skúma, ako sa moc a vládnutie prejavujú v priestorovom usporiadaní spoločnosti, najmä v kontexte kolonializmu a jeho dopadov. Jeho analýzy sa zameriavajú na to, ako sú sociálne javy, ako je prostitúcia, formované širšími vládnymi politikami a mocenskými štruktúrami. Leggov prístup ponúka hlboký vhľad do toho, ako priestorové usporiadanie ovplyvňuje ľudské životy a formuje historické procesy.
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.
