This book offers a unique assessment of the current state and
future directions of human geography, exploring the developments
and themes that have put the discipline at the heart of a number of
important debates.
Human Geography - with its concern for space, place and nature -
has over recent years moved to the center of much theoretical
debate in the social sciences and humanities. Moreover, the
exchange has been two-way - human geography has itself increasingly
welcomed the importation of work from other areas of academe. This
book takes up the promise and challenge of this new-found
prominence and openness and explores the future for the discipline.
Human Geography Today brings together a range of internationally
recognized authors, all of whom have explored this new interface,
and each of whom here proposes future directions for their part of
the discipline. The book considers the increasingly challenged
dichotomy between the social and the natural, the meaning and
significance of the geographical imagination, the increasing
prominence of debates over difference and identity and their
relationship to spatiality, the imperative of recognizing the
thoroughly mutual constitution of spatiality and power, and - after
all - how we might in these changing times most productively
re-imagine space and place themselves.
This book will be invaluable for students and academics in human
geography, social theory, cultural studies, and politics.
