This paper argues that critical geographies of Latin America begin with an analysis of how and why the bodies and geographies of geographers themselves matter. To focus on the geographer as a producer of knowledge is not to advocate the kind of navel gazing so abhorrent to many scholars. Rather, it is an effort to call attention to and critically assess how the geographer's embodied social position and geographic location inform the production of knowledge about and representations of Latin American people and nature. To illustrate how and why bodies and geographies matter, I draw from feminist and post-colonial theory and include examples from my own experiences and those of other researchers doing fieldwork in Latin American countries. I conclude by exploring the notion of situated knowledge as a tactic that writes bodies and geographies into academic texts. Ultimately, situating knowledge represents a political intervention and contribution to the broader goals of emancipatory politics shared by critical human geographers. 相似文献

The intent of this paper is to explore how ‘reel’ and ‘real’ landscapes can be rendered dialectic. The analysis focuses on
the filming of Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) at the wildlife preserve of Wakulla Springs in Florida, which was administered
by the financial tycoon Ed Ball. Using Mitchell's recent commentaries on ‘good’ and ‘bad’ dialectics as our entry point, we
offer two readings of this cinematic process. The first renders the on and off screen Wakulla Springs as ideological fodder,
serving to valorise capital, masculinity and whiteness. The second reading addresses how this place has been actively constructed
from discourses pertaining to class, gender and race, such that Wakulla exists as a series of fully relational spaces within
diverse contexts, both ‘real’ and ‘reel’. In structuring our analysis in this manner, we hope to make clear why it does indeed
matter for film geographers to acknowledge the conceptual presumptions brought to bear in the framing of the real and the
reel as objects of analysis.

Recent years have seen academic geographers engaged in a series of debates over the current state of the discipline, its ‘relevance’ to others in the social sciences, to policy-makers, and to those studying geography at school age. This short critical review builds upon an issue raised in this journal [Thrift, N., 2002. The future of geography. Geoforum 33, 291–298], namely the role of geographers as public intellectuals. After reviewing the different ways in which the notion of public intellectuals has been understood, the paper turns to geography’s representations and to its publics. The paper concludes by arguing for an appreciation of the full range of ways in which geographers call forth publics through a range of representational strategies. It suggests that regardless of how geographers perform publicly and intellectually, two things are perhaps worth remembering: it is in the interest of geographers to name what they do as geography and to name themselves as geographers. 相似文献

Memorial landscapes: analytic questions and metaphors 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Over the past two decades, geographers have probed the intersection of collective memory and urban space. Their sustained
interest in the subject reflects an understanding of the social condition of commemoration and the important role that space
plays in the process and politics of collective memory. Along with other critical social scientists, geographers envision
these public symbols as part of larger cultural landscapes that reflect and legitimate the normative social order. A review
of the extant literature indicates that geographers scrutinize memorial landscapes through three conceptual lenses that may
be understood via the metaphors of ‘text,’ ‘arena,’ and ‘performance.’ These metaphors are in turn mobilized through a series
of analytic questions that serve to identify the interests served and denied by landscape ‘texts,’ the ‘arenas’ in which they
are produced, and the ways in which they are enacted via ‘performance.’ This article’s synopsis of the subfield’s predominant
metaphors and its attendant questions contributes to the ongoing cultural geographic project of articulating and implementing
methods for interpreting landscapes as open-ended symbolic systems.

There have been few studies of trainee teachers' conceptions of the term ‘geography’. Building on these, this study identifies
a number of conceptions of geography held by primary school trainee teachers in England. Their ideas are compared with their
understanding of the reasons for teaching geography to young children. Similar outcomes emerge. While a small number of primary
trainee teachers see geography education as concerned with the study of places, a slightly larger group view teaching geography
as developing children's sense of responsibility for the earth and its people. However, by far the largest groups of students
perceive geography's role to be to develop younger children's awareness and knowledge of the environment. Additionally, a
sizeable group of trainees see geography as providing knowledge about the features and countries of the world. The implications
of these findings are considered for the brief geography study units which primary teacher trainees take as part of their
initial teacher training programme in English higher education. The conclusion is that it is important to widen primary trainee
teachers' perspectives during even the briefest of units, not least to enable them to teach the national curriculum requirements
for geography in primary schools.

Social epidemiology as medical geography: Back to the future 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Tom Koch 《GeoJournal》2009,74(2):99-106
There is something very traditional about Nancy Krieger’s decidedly modern work. She advances a social epidemiology that is
multidisciplinary, advancing a “quantitative population science” that is also spatial in its approach and method of analysis.
Many geographers see their work as affirming the potential of medical cartography and geography as disciplines critical to
public health studies of disease incidence. This article argues that the history of epidemiology and public health are historically
spatial and geographic, a link lost in the research of many twentieth century health researchers. A review of the history
of medical geography, and of public health, insists upon the spatiality of disease studies as a critical groundwork not simply
for contemporary disease studies but for the history of disease studies as they have slowly developed over for more than 200 years. 相似文献

English-language geographical magazines present very different geographical imaginations to their readers than those portrayed
by academic geographers, with whom the editors and publishers of those magazines have very little contact. There is a mutual
lack of appreciation—which could have substantial consequences for the academic discipline. To increase academic geographers’
appreciation of the popular geographies being portrayed, the contents of recent volumes of three magazines—National Geographic, Geographical, and New Zealand Geographic—are distilled, with their major themes identified. One clear conclusion is that there is virtually no contact between the
two imaginations: popular geographical magazines almost entirely ignore the work of academic geographers. 相似文献

This paper represents an exploration of the relationships between geographical and fictional literatures. In general, geographers have not made sufficient use of literary sources in their work. In this paper the author goes beyond using literary quotations to provide a feel or impression of a region or place, to regard specific texts as containing a voice which can speak to the geographies created by academics. This means that geographers can regard fictional literature as offering an alternative account of the processes that they are seeking to describe and explain. After a brief introduction to the current relationship between geography and literature, it is discussed how fiction is used as a source in other disciplines. Finally, the suggested approach to literature is applied to the work of Salman Rushdie, especially to his controversial novel The Satanic Verses. 相似文献

Although geographers have largely investigated the notion of place, the relationship between place and Self does not seem
to have received a similar attention, both theoretically and empirically. After the initial interest expressed by humanistic
geographers, social constructivism and cultural materialism (two dominant paradigms in use since at least the 1980s) have
somewhat moved the interest towards a sort of social(izing) discourse, which has pushed the individual dimension to the margin.
Accordingly, this dimension has been treated as a mere product of social discourses, as purely embodying and (re)enacting
certain social categories (gender, sex, race, etc.) or, again, it has been discredited as psychologically ‘mentalistic’ and
geographically ‘trivial’. In the present article, I aim to rescue this personal, intimate dimension and show how, beyond an
all-encompassing social(izing) logic, it remains at work in the ways people relate to place. Theoretically, the study builds
on the early contributions of humanistic geography, complemented with more recent works in environmental and social psychology.
Empirically, it is grounded in narratives of place collected during interviews and focus groups administered in four regional
case studies in Western Europe. The article advances and illustrates, with empirical materials, a simple theoretical framework,
which aims to contribute to the understanding of how meanings of place implicate and are implicated in the construction of
the Self. 相似文献

Over the past five years or so, Anglo-American hegemony in human geography has been widely debated. This debate has highlighted
the obstacles put in the way of the building of a more international geographical discipline. In this paper, we reflect on
the possibilities and also the limitations of Europe as a context for the experimentation with a more cross-national discipline.
In doing so, we notice on the one hand the increasing attention towards the Europeanisation of human geography, particularly
at an institutional level, but on the other hand we also notice the lack of some basic forms and tools of communication and
exchange that might facilitate the mobilisation of scholars around the ‘European project’. The paper tries to offer a contribution
to this issue by discussing the ways in which a European journal of human geography might be conceived and also concretely
organised. In this respect the paper takes into account issues of language, access to scientific knowledge and recognition
of cultural and academic diversities.

For geographers, debates surrounding the knowledge economy have reinvigorated interest in the geographies of learning and knowledge production. Particularly topical are discussions of the possibility of spatially stretched (global) learning, something especially relevant to professional service firms where the production and management of knowledge across transnational organizational networks is essential. Taking this as its starting point, the paper explores the way knowledge is produced and circulated in transnational legal professional service firms. Drawing on the ideas of relational economic geography to analyse original empirical material, it highlights the way relational networks are socially constructed to allow learning to be stretched across space. The paper then goes on to identify the ‘politics’ of inclusion in these networks and the exclusivity of membership. It also highlights the geographies of power that influence the nature and effect of the knowledge produced and circulated. It does this by examining the role of relational knowledge networks in the ‘Americanization’ of legal practice in Europe and the impacts of such changes on national institutional and regulatory contexts. It is, therefore, argued that transnational corporate networks need to be viewed as heterogeneous and ‘embedded spaces of social practice’. It is shown that studying the actors and their interactions across relational networks is vital to fully understand how global relational forms are constructed and to understand their structuring effects on the global economy. 相似文献

This paper explores the process of learning an embodied knowledge using the work of Dreyfus and Deleuze. Although geographers have begun to acknowledge the role of embodied knowledges in social life, there have been few in-depth case studies of how these skills are learned. This paper offers a case study of Thai Yoga massage (TYM), a ‘complementary and alternative therapy’ which is growing in popularity in the United Kingdom. Having outlined the case study, the paper explores the cultural geographies of the formalisation, documentation and contestation of the set of techniques that have come to cohere in the UK as TYM. The paper then interrogates the messy corporeal geographies of learning a skill, and briefly considers how more advanced practitioners experience their skilled practice. 相似文献

The article advocates an articulation of cultural geography and art history, and in this perspective focuses on the analysis
of the primitivist movement and particularly on Gauguin's work and personal itinerary. Primitivism introduced artefacts of
‘primitive’ people into the history of Western art and signalled a change in the relationship between the West and the ‘Other’
and ‘Elsewhere’. This reversal of values has a major geographical dimension. Primitivism manifests the contradiction-rife
colonial ideology, but can also challenge colonization. Tourism, which is, in the case of Tahiti, directly linked to Gauguin
and to his myth, inherited a lot from primitivism, in terms of hopes and ambiguities. Conversely, primitivism casts light
on geographical features of these places, instituted as ‘Elsewheres‘ by the West, and visited, even transformed by painters,
colonizers and tourists.

Historical processes of state formation and nation building are crucial for an understanding of the geography of religions
and churches in Europe. Each country has developed its own model of state-church relations, giving rise to a ‘bewildering
variety’ as Grace Davie aptly remarks. The aim of this paper is to bring some order to this variety by developing a framework
for the comparative study of church-state relations based on Stein Rokkan’s famous conceptual map and recent extensions of
it to Central and Eastern Europe by John Madeley. According to that framework Europe has been divided into three mono-confessional
(Roman Catholic, Lutheran, and Eastern Orthodox) blocs and two multi-confessional culture belts from Northwest to Southeast,
and from Northeast to Southeast. This historical pattern has been challenged by secularisation, which started with the Enlightenment
and the French Revolution (Western Europe) and the Russian Revolution (Eastern Europe until the velvet revolutions of 1989/1991)
and then became widespread after the ‘cultural revolutions’ of the 1960s. A second challenge has to do with globalisation
and its consequences, such as massive immigration and the rise of immigrant religions, and in general deterritorialisation,
which means the disembeddedness of religion from its national territory. A third challenge concerns reterritorialisation at
other (supranational, regional, transnational, and local) scales, of which the new territorial order of the European Union
seems to be the most important. Finally, this paper serves as an introduction to the case studies on church-state relations
in this special issue. 相似文献

This paper focuses on how livelihood and the question of development and environment in a globalising era should be examined.
It discusses various views in geography on the question of environment and development, and it explores the concept of sustainable
livelihood. It concludes that a geographical conceptualisation of ‘development and environment’ may profit from the discussion
on sustainable livelihood, provided that it does not become entangled in an actor-cum-local bias. Moreover, the diffusion
of non-equilibrium concepts may broaden the analysis of man-land relations and open the way to an analysis of globalisation
effects. Globalisation gives rise to new assortments of geographical entities and, as livelihoods adapt, they will shape constantly
shifting regions with specific man-land arrangements.

The increasing attention paid by geographers to white identities represents a welcome corrective to research on race and ethnicity that focused on non-white subjectivities and promises to deconstruct the purportedly `normal' or `unremarkable' status often afforded to whiteness. Such work is a vital part of a critical geographical agenda. This paper seeks to contribute to such an agenda by responding to Bonnett [Area 29 (1997) 193, White Identities: Historical and International Perspectives, Prentice Hall, 2000] call for a historical geographical engagement with `white studies'. To do so, it begins by considering how such a critical geography might be spatially and theoretically framed. It then introduces a specific context for such an engagement--the revolt of 1816 by enslaved people of African origin in the British Caribbean colony of Barbados. Reading this not as a single event but as a locus of multiple and conflicting narrations, each linked to particular assertions and contestations of whiteness, the paper argues that geographies of white identities must emphasise struggles between `white' subjects, as well as the role of subaltern acts and representations in white racialisation. This is important if postcolonial, and therefore critical, geographies of white identities are to be produced. 相似文献

Transportation has been a bone of public contention for decades, the discussion ranging from traffic-calming measures in individual streets to the continual growth of global transport movements. In the last 20 years transport topics have also received increased attention within the discipline of geography, be it academic, professional or in schools, but the topics addressed by today's transport geography have almost nothing in common with the roots of the field. This means that transport geography is a handed-down, hyphenated sub-branch of geography in name only. In fact, the name refers to a field of geography that is experiencing not only all the birthing pains and uncertainties of a discipline in the process of defining a new direction for itself, but also the sense of excitement and thrill of the new. This paper sets out to show both the role transport geography plays as part of human geography with its concepts and paradigms, and also the role it plays within the political debate on transport. An appeal is made to geographers to become more involved in this branch of our science. 相似文献

Conclusions: the Future Relevance of Medical Geography in the Third World This article has deliberately ranged widely and suggested various research themes to which medical geographers interested in health and development might turn their attention. The International Geographical Union Commission on Health and Development established in 1988 suggested a research agenda which includes many of them (see IGU Commission on Health and Development, Circular Letter No. 1 published in GeoJournal 17, 4, 659–660 (1988)). The achievement of even part of such an agenda will call for close international collaboration in research amongst medical geographers and allied disciplines.Increasingly, medical geographers are gaining applied experience in health and health care in the developing world. They are obtaining breadth and depth of knowledge and are now, for example, cogniscant of financial matters such as those involved in the cost explosion in health care worlwide which has particularly sinister implications for the health of Third World countries (Josephg and Phillips 1984). They, too, are now increasingly comfortable in dealing with epidemiological and demographic data. Geographers now no longer focus solely on phenomena such as distance decay or environments for disease. They are aware that human resources, intelligence, aspirations, attitudes and finance are all potent variables influencing successful health care and health in populations.In the future, therefore, the wide-ranging ambit of medical geography will increasingly become relevant to health and health care research in the Third World. Contributions of value will emerge both from those geographers adopting more socio-political stances and those adopting a more empiricist approach. However, it is the holistic nature of geography, with its wide academic links, and the courage of geographers to research in new topics and gain sound understanding of them which will increasingly be recognized. The days of extempore contributions to political, policy and practical debates on health and development are now largely past. Well researched, solid and sound medical geography contributions will, it is hoped, forge ahead. 相似文献

The paper examines the neighborhood council from the perspective of its contribution to town planning. Within the context
of planning in Israel, two distinct models of neighborhood council and their relationship to the municipal planning administration
in two different towns are considered. Their potential as a new arena of planning at the neighborhood level is evaluated,
including the ability to mediate between ‘bottom-up’ and ‘top-down’ planning processes, and to offer a planning framework
that combines local with professional knowledge. 相似文献

Recent work in political geography has emphasised how scale plays a role in constituting relationships and identities. Historically,
the Canadian federal government has taken responsibilities for social services for First Nations people on reserves, leaving
this responsibility to provinces for First Nations people in cities. This constitutes First Nations women as individuals with
Aboriginal rights only on reserves, and as part of mainstream society in urban areas. First Nations women have challenged
the definitions of their identities embedded in these scales of service provision. In presenting alternative geographies for
organising the provision of services, they demonstrate the importance of paying attention to the diversity of women’s everyday
geographies in the city.
This is a phrase from Vicki English’s (1993) presentation to the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, where she argues that treaty rights to housing, education, medicare
and other services should not be confined to the boundaries of reserves.
I use the term “First Nations” to refer to people who identify themselves as such, including people who are and are not registered
pursuant to the Indian Act. By “Aboriginal peoples” I mean the descendants of the indigenous people in Canada, including First Nations people, Métis
and Inuit. The Census of Canada uses the term “North American Indian” to refer to First Nations people, and I employ this
terminology for clarity in some cases.
