Shun 舜 and the Interpretation of Early Orthographical Variation
Ji Xusheng's 季旭昇 account of the character 〈舜〉 as a derivative of 〈夋〉 and ultimately of 〈允〉 by reference to Warring States excavated manuscript evidence, recently elaborated by Adam Smith in these pages, appears to clear up the mystery of Shun's 舜 doppelgänger—Jun 俊—in the Shanhai jing 山海經. However, while Ji's observations are of value, there is danger in treating early orthographical variation of this kind with one eye on an interpretive problem …
Text and Intertextuality
Geographers began to use “text,” “textuality,” and “intertextuality” as theoretical terms in the late 1980s, as part of what was then called the new cultural geography. Geographers employed these terms and concepts in the interpretation of a wide range of objects, including scientific and literary documents, geopolitical discourses, maps, and landscapes, one result being a spreading conviction that the meaning of such objects is arbitrary, constr…
The Anarchist Roots of Geography
In 1882, conservative Parisian journalist Abert Delpit commented on the endorsing speech Élisée Reclus pronounced at the “free union” ceremony of his daughters Magali and Jeannie, who publicly celebrated the fact they went to live with two young men without any legal sanction from a mayor or a priest. Given that this event raised a huge scandal in French mainstream press, Delpit tried to explain the contradiction between the generalized praise of…

A Geography of the Lifeworld: Movement, Rest and Encounter. By David Seamon. 227 pp.; diagrs., bibliog., index. New York: Routledge, 2015. London: Croon Helm, 1979. $140.00 (cloth), isbn 9781138885
Strange encounters
Disagreement is a fundamental aspect of scholarly inquiry, yet it is exceedingly rare for scholars on opposite sides of the political spectrum to engage in a sustained dialogue across the political divide. This article seeks to contribute to precisely such a dialogue with specific reference to the field of cultural geography. The discussion featured herein consists of an encounter between “critical” and “conservative” approaches to cultural geogr…
Sound Symbolism in the Reduplicative Vocabulary of the Shijing
The present study begins with an introduction to “sound symbolism” from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Such frameworks provide that while the relationship between sound and meaning within the lexicon is in general arbitrary, languages may also feature specific, statistically significant relationships between particular sounds and particular semantic domains, whether language specific or motivated by more general cognitive tendencies. An exam…

Apotheosis of the Hungry God
The modern university is a demoralizing institution, largely devoted to the propagation of nihilism and liberation of desire. The apotheosis of this hungry god of the untrammeled will has taken more than 200 years, but the slow ascent has given humanistic scholarship its basic shape. The ascent of ‘reason’ over tradition and religion, at the end of the eighteenth century, caused conservative thought to emerge, reluctantly, and frame rational defe…

Time-Binding Communication
This article sketches a theory of time-binding communication, which is to say communication that unifies widely separated times much as space-binding communication unifies widely separated places. Drawing from the work of Harold Innis, it first describes the function and character of time-binding communication as a means to social continuity. Then, following Alasdair MacIntyre and Michael Oakshott, it explains the nature and necessary circumstanc…
The Texas Aggie Bonfire
Concepts of place, narrative, tradition, and identity are employed in a conservative reading of the Texas A&M Bonfire. Texas A&M embodied regional narratives of a dual Southern commitment to economic and technological development and conservation of traditional cultural. Institutionalized at Texas A&M in the late nineteenth century, these narratives made a paradoxical place. Bonfire expressed and obscured this paradox. In line with the narrative …

Unlawful Relations and Verbal Inflation
here are two rather basic questions to ask about Tobler's first law of geography. Is it a law? Is it true? These might at first appear to be one question expressed in two ways, but they are not. When I ask if Tobler's law is, indeed, a law, I am asking whether it, as a statement, has the form and character of those statements we normally recognize as laws. Lacking this form, Tobler's law cannot be a law, even if its propositions are true. A state…

Geographical Rhetoric
Geographers are frequently enjoined to identify and satisfy the interests of their audience, as performance of this service is the ultimate justification for the field's continued existence. There is, however, little agreement on how best to render this service, largely because there has been little thought about the nature of the audience, or about its role in shaping geographical discourse. Geographers must recognize the existence of multiple a…
