The comings and goings of space and matter.

Resumo

Many of the contributions to this issue of Soft Power address – directly or indirectly – tendencies that for some time have been defined with expressions such as material turn or spatial turn to proclaim the superseding of formalist and constructivist visions of the world and society, or to indicate the restructuring of the idea that ours is, above all, an era of dematerialization, despatialization, and deterritorialization.
