Book Synopsis



Imagina que...

* Tomas el sol en una isla creada de manera artificial con espuma helada.
* Colonizas una ciudad junto a Chernóbil que jamás llegó a ser habitada.
* Pernoctas en un cementerio habitado (por vivos) en el norte de Manila.
* Visitas un microestado fundado en una plataforma armamentística en mitad del océano.
* Conoces al amor de tu vida en una campiña británica, capital del sexo al aire libre.

Alastair Bonnett escribe sobre 48 lugares fuera del mapa. Una oda a la peculiaridad de un lugar frente a un mundo globalizado. A lo inesperado en un planeta mapeado (y por tanto explicado) por las nuevas grandes corporaciones. A las fronteras difusas y las fantasías reales. A la idea de que ni el hombre actual lo sabe todo ni todo está descubierto y conquistado. Al territorio como fábrica de nuestras vidas, donde construimos nuestra identidad y memoria.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

New islands are under construction or emerging because of climate change. Eccentric enclaves and fantastic utopian experiments are multiplying. Once-secret fantasy gardens are cracking open their doors to outsiders. Our world is becoming stranger by the day--and Alastair Bonnett observes and captures every fascinating change.

In Beyond the Map, Bonnett presents stories of the world's most extraordinary spaces--many unmarked on any official map--all of which challenge our assumptions about what we know--or think we know--about our world. As cultural, religious and political boundaries ebb and flow with each passing day, traditional maps unravel and fragment. With the same adventurous spirit he effused in the acclaimed Unruly Places, Bonnett takes us to thirty-nine incredible spots around the globe to explore these changing boundaries and stimulate our geographical imagination. Some are tied to disruptive contemporary political turbulence, such as the rise of ISIL, Russia's incursions into Ukraine and the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom. Others explore the secret places not shown on Google Earth or reflect fast-changing landscapes.

Beyond the Map journeys out into a world of mysterious, daunting and magical spaces. It is a world of hidden cultures and ghostly memories, of uncountable new islands and curious stabs at paradise. From the phantom tunnels of the Tokyo subway to a stunning movie-set re-creation of 1950s-era Moscow; from the caliphate of the Islamic State to virtual cybertopias--this book serves as an imaginative guide to the farthest fringes of geography.



About the Author



Desde niño, Alastair Bonett sintió un apego especial por su pueblo mientras miraba a la gran ciudad como una fuerza invasora que podría acabar con su encanto. Eso, la relación del individuo con el espacio, ha sido el eje de toda su obra. Ya en la adolescencia, llevaba al día un diario y emborronaba cuadernos con sus primeros poemas, hasta que se decantó por las obras de no ficción relacionadas con su sector profesional. Bonnett es profesor de Geografía Social en la Universidad de Newcastle: compagina su labor como autor académico (si no, lo despiden) con su faceta como autor de libros para el gran público (si no, se aburre). Es autor también de What is Geography?, entre otros títulos, y ha firmado artículos en infinidad de revistas, además de editar entre 1994 y 2000 la revista vanguardista de psicogeografía Transgressions: A Journal of Urban Exploration. Fuera del mapa es su libro más evocador y su obra más elogiada.
