This book is oriented on testing and developing the neopragmatic
approach of horizontal geographies, in which we follow approaches
of natural sciences, social sciences, and cultural studies.
Regional focus is thereby put on a rapidly changing elemental space
and its social representations, characterized by unstable and not
well-defined hybridities: coastal Louisiana. This region is highly
dynamic: the Mississippi River in particular, with its extensive
sediments, has shifted the coastal fringe of present-day Louisiana
into the Gulf of Mexico. This land gain is contrasted by natural
processes, but also by processes resultant of human intervention
which cause marine encroachment. A complex interplay of different
aspects is directly and indirectly leading to coastal land loss
which makes the question of how to describe emerging hybrid spaces
virulent and highlights the limits of a positivist understanding of
boundaries that is also physically geographical. In the
neopragmatic tradition, positivist research findings will be framed
in social constructivist terms and supplemented by phenomenological
approaches to Louisiana's coastal space, thus suggesting the need
for and potentials of horizontal geographic integration of
different theoretical and methodological approaches as well as
researcher perspectives and data bases.
