Panel Discussion of Henry Yeung’s Theory and Explanation in Geography
This paper focuses on Henry Yeung’s recently published book with Wiley, Theory and Explanation in Geography, discussing it through the lens of an international group of scholars and from various perspectives. On the one hand, the current study aligns with the volume’s main message to create and apply mid-range explanatory theories in geography more intensively, rather than relying too heavily on theories imported from other disciplines, such as p…
The ironic misfortunes of ‘geographic theory’. Sceptic musings on a sexy oxymoron
In this short piece, I engage with Henry W. Yeung’s (2024) diagnosis of a ‘philosophy envy’ affecting contemporary human geography to partially support his interpretation and equally argue against it. While I read geography’s infatuation with changing philosophical vogues as resulting in a deleterious theoretical hubris, the reasons for the academic and political pedigree that prevailing forms of geographic theory have purchased require a deeper …
Borderism
This article aims to analyze the nature and main characteristics of the discourse on borderlands and border local communities during the process of delimiting the Spanish–Portuguese boundary that took place in the middle third of the nineteenth century. It examines how both local and state actors represented conflicts and violence in border areas and how these discourses played a crucial role not only in securing the involvement of central state …
History and philosophy of geography II
This report offers an interpretation of recent scholarship that articulates pasts and futures of geographical thought and praxis. By focussing on growing concerns about speculative, abyssal, and analytical styles of thinking in Geography, I argue that a more cogent philosophical take on geographic theory-making is needed. Drawing upon ongoing discussions on the role of geographic theory, I use the occasion of the various history and philosophy of…
Making Mars resonate
This paper analyses how Chinese desert landscapes are being used as analogue sites for the public to gain a first-hand and embodied experience of Martian-like landscapes through the scientific, educational, and tourist facilities and activities that Mars Camp in Qinghai province of the People’s Republic of China offers visitors. By analysing accounts and chronicles of visitors’ experiences (mainly based on digital materials showcased by the Mars …
History and philosophy of geography I
Amongst recent contributions to the field, this report detects ongoing and emergent topics within disciplinary histories and reflects on the evolving meaning of the ‘international’ character of geography as it has been conceived and practised over the years. A set of books on the long-standing efforts to internationalise the geographical community, and on the intellectual histories of critical geographies, constitute an outstanding resource for h…
Recent geohistorical research on boundary-making. Challenging conventional narratives on borders and modern state-building
The paper aims at providing an overview of recent scholarship from the last 3 decades on boundary-making, borders, and the territorial shaping of modern states between the eighteenth and the twentieth centuries. Scholarship in various languages (namely English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian) and from various fields of inquiry will be reviewed in order to highlight their shared themes and common concerns from a comparatist, transdiscipl…
