Yet, when leaving the gaps between the traveling and local epistemic assumptions unattended, engaging relational spatial theories in empirical research may still reproduce established theoretical claims. Following the sociology of knowledge tradition and taking Critical Realism as a meta-theoretical framework, Xiaoxue Gao takes relational spatial theories as traveling conceptual knowledge and develops meaningful and context-sensitive ways of engaging them in studying the complex urban phenomenon in China. She offers conceptual elucidations and methodological roadmaps, which leap productively from employing plural causal hypotheses to generating effect-based explanations for locally observable events. They are exemplified by manifold interrogations of Beijing's Artworld as a conjuncture of particular events.Urban StudiesGao, Thinking of Space RelationallyCritical Realism Beyond Relativism – A Manifold Study of the Artworld in BeijingRelational SpaceCritical RealismArtworldChinaSpaceArtScienceSociology of KnowledgeSociology of ArtSociologyRelational SpaceCritical RealismArtworldChinaSpaceArtScienceSociology of KnowledgeSociology of ArtSociology709.51/15Gao Xiaoxue<p>Xiaoxue Gao, Technische Universität Berlin, Deutschland</p>aut1888436Technische Universität Berlinfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910476901803321Thinking of Space Relationally4527312UNINA
