Non-representational Theory explores a range of ideas which have
recently engaged geographers and have led to the development of an
alternative approach to the conception, practice, and production of
geographic knowledge. Non-representational Theory refers to a key
body of work that has emerged in geography over the past two and a
half decades that emphasizes the importance of practice,
embodiment, materiality, and process to the ongoing formation of
social life. This title offers the first sole-authored, accessible
introduction to this work and its impact on geography. Without
being prescriptive the text provides a general explanation of what
Non-representational Theory is. This includes discussion of the
disciplinary context it emerged from, the key ideas and themes that
characterise work associated with Non-representational Theory, and
the theoretical points of reference that inspires it. The book then
explores a series of conjunctions of 'Non-representational Theory
and...', taking an area of geographic enquiry and exploring the
impact Non-representational Theory has had on how it is researched
and understood. This includes the relationships between
Non-representational Theory and Practice, Affect, Materiality,
Landscape, Performance, and Methods. Critiques of
Non-representational Theory are also broached, including
reflections on issues on identity, power, and difference. The text
draws together the work of a range of established and emerging
scholars working on the development of non-representational
theories, allowing scholars from geography and other disciplines to
access and assess the animating potential of such work. This volume
is essential reading for undergraduates and post-graduate students
interested in the social, cultural, and political geographies of
everyday living.
