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. 410 0$aUrban Studies 606 $aRelational Space; Critical Realism; Artworld; China; Space; Art; Science; Sociology of Knowledge; Sociology of Art; Sociology; 610 $aArt. 610 $aArtworld. 610 $aChina. 610 $aCritical Realism. 610 $aScience. 610 $aSociology of Art. 610 $aSociology of Knowledge. 610 $aSociology. 610 $aSpace. 615 4$aRelational Space; Critical Realism; Artworld; China; Space; Art; Science; Sociology of Knowledge; Sociology of Art; Sociology; 676 $a709.51/15 700 $aGao$b Xiaoxue$pTechnische Universita?t Berlin, Deutschland$4aut$01204674 712 02$aTechnische Universität Berlin$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476901803321 996 $aThinking of Space Relationally$92780284 997 $aUNINA
