Over the last decades, social space as a field of study has developed rapidly. The emergence and accessibility of digital information and communication technology networks and the blurring of former geographical barriers are changes that the media studies must cope with. This book, therefore, aims to contribute to the discussions on this new and exciting field – geographies of communications. The objective of this work is to trace the socio-cultural transition in post-Soviet Estonia through the prism of personal social space. This work draws on various theories from sociology, media and communication studies, and cultural geography. The empirical studies made within this work could be divided into three parts. The first part concentrates on the general tendencies in spatial relationships and on opening of personal social space in a transition society. The second part investigates geo-cultural solidarities. The third part concentrates on the role of foreign languages shaping personal social space. This book should be especially useful to professionals in Media and Communication fields and in Geography, or anyone else who may be interested in issues of social space.
