| Steve Pile has recently undertaken a series
of writing activities investigating the relationship between the city,
everyday life and the spatial constitution of power. Drawing inspiration
from Benjamin, Lefebvre, Fanon and Freud, this work is finding outlets
in larger projects, in books such as The Body and the City: Psychoanalysis,
Subjectivity and Space (1996) and City A-Z (with N.
Thrift, 2000), but also in a number of smaller pieces of writing.
These works are preliminary investigations for a larger project. He
is currently preparing material for a sole authored book, which has
the provisional title Cities, Space and Experience.
In addition, he is also continuing to
pursue research interests in the relationship between place and
the politics of identity. This has led to a collection entitled
Geographies of Resistance (edited with Michael Keith, 1997).
This work has also led him to think through issues around the body,
space and identity, resulting in collaboration with Heidi Nast on
a book, Places through the Body (1998).
