Making Histories and Constructing Human Geographies
Making Histories and Constructing Human Geographies: The Local Transformation of Practice, Power Relations, and Consciousness
This book is intended to acquaint American historians, anthropologists, and sociologists with a discourse that questions the prioritizing of the temporal over the spatial-the historical over the geographical. Allan Pred argues that neither the study of history nor the execution of social or cultural analysis can be divorced from human-geographical
Making Histories And Constructing Human Geographies: The Local Transformation Of Practice, Power Relations, And Consciousness
This book will acquaint historians, anthropologists and sociologists with a discourse that questions the prioritizing of the temporal over the spatial - the historical over the geographical. The author argues that neither the study of history nor the execution of social or cultural analysis can be divorced from human-geographical inquiry. He contends that all processes of social structuring are context dependent, for they involve the unfolding of…

What Do You Know? The Clock is Ticking, the Train is Rolling on
Hägerstrand matters: Life(-path) and death matters—some touching remarks
[C]haracteristically, it is not only a man's knowledge or wisdom, but above all his real life—and this is the stuff stories are made of—which first assumes transmissible form at the moment of his death. Just as a sequence of images is set in motion inside a man as his life comes to an end—unfolding the views of himself in which he has encountered himself without being aware of it—suddenly in his expressions and looks the unforgettable emerges, an…
Even in Sweden
Even in Sweden: Racisms, Racialized Spaces, and the Popular Geographical Imagination
Unspeakable Spaces racisms past and present on exhibit in Stockholm, or the unaddressable addressed
The denials, displacements, and collective amnesia often associated with Sweden's widespread cultural racism are explored through bringing three unspeakable spaces into conjunction and tension with one another: a "wax cab' inet and anatomical museum" in Stockholm during the 1890s; a resurrection of that same exhibition during 1999; and Stockholm's principal downtown square, which in 1999 was being considered for radical architectual redesign in o…
Memory and the Cultural Reworking of Crisis: Racisms and the Current Moment of Danger in Sweden, or Wanting it like before
Amidst a multitude of mutually compounding economic, political, and social crises, amidst the repeated shattering of everyday taken-for-granteds, amidst the repeated invalidation of meaning-memories, identity crises have come to abound in Sweden. For many Swedes perhaps nothing has become more disruptive of taken-for-granted meanings and identity than either the large-scale presence of non-Europeans and Muslims, or the assortment of racisms that …
Somebody Else, Somewhere Else: Racisms, Racialized Spaces and the Popular Geographical Imagination in Sweden
In conjunction with recurrent economic dislocations and the restructuring and melting of national capitalisms into one another, there has been a resurgence of racisms in Europe; even in Sweden, a country long stereotyped as an international champion of equality and economic and political justice. An array of concrete and racialized spaces has emerged and contributed to the further spread of racism. Deeply enmeshed in this process is a disjuncture…
Interfusions: Consumption, Identity and the Practices and Power Relations of Everyday Life
Consumption involves knowledge acquisition and act-ual usage-not simply shopping and purchasing-and therefore is intricately bound up with the practices, power relations, and discourses of everyday life. Widely accepted observations about the fluidity and multiple dimensions of identity do not adequately link situated practices with the repeated (re)constitution and destabilization of identity elements. Moreover, it is not only through the use of…

Reworking Modernity: Capitalisms and Symbolic Discontent
Using both grand conceptualizations and grounded case studies, Allan Pred and Michael Watts look at how people cope with and give meaning to capitalism and modernity in different times and places. As capital accumulation has grown and taken new forms, it has affected technology and labor relations which in turn have affected people's daily lives. These changes have not always been either welcome or easy. Pred and Watts focus on the symbolic disco…

Spectacular Articulations of Modernity: The Stockholm Exhibition of 1897
The Stockholm Art and Industrial Exhibition of 1897 presented a space of illusory and fantastic images, a space designed to manufacture all consuming desires, a landscape marked by a 'postmodern' pastiche of architectural styles. As a spectacular articulation of modernity it ideologically melted together messages of nationalism, progress, and consumption; and, in so doing, evoked other spectacular articulations of modernity

Place as Historically Contingent Process: Structuration and the Time-Geography of Becoming Places
This paper presents the theoretical foundation for a different type of place-centered or regional geography. The framework rests upon an integration of time-geography and the emerging theory of structuration. It also builds upon a conceptualization of place as a constantly becoming human product as well as a set of features visible upon the landscape. Place is seen as a process whereby the reproduction of social and cultural forms, the formation …

The interurban transmission of growth in advanced economies: Empirical findings versus regional-planning assumptions
Pred A. R. (1976) The interurban transmission of growth in advanced economies: Empirical findings versus regional-planning assumptions, Reg. Studies 10, 151–171. It is proposed that the disappointing record of growth-centre and growth-pole policies in advanced economies is in some measure attributable to mistaken assumptions concerning interurban growth-transmission. The reasoning behind the hinterland-spread and hierarchical diffusion assumption…

Structuration, Biography Formation, and Knowledge: Observations on Port Growth during the Late Mercantile Period
The impact of human agency and constraining and enabling structural conditions on the growth of ports during the late mercantile period is addressed from three vantage points. Fernand Braudel's works on mercantile capitalism are reassessed. A prepositional summary of my own theory of place as historically contingent process is presented. Finally, the interplay of biography formation, knowledge acquisition, and the growth of Boston, Massachusetts,…

Toward a Typology of Manufacturing Flows
IT IS clear that large-scale manufacturing plants with identical producing functions but different relative locations within a region or country will have different flow (volume and length) characteristics. Likewise, it is clear that large-scale manufacturing plants with dissimilar producing functions but coincident or near-coincident relative locations will have disparate flow characteristics. However, although access to markets and other factor…

In Other Wor(l)ds: Fragmented and Integrated Observations on Gendered Languages, Gendered Spaces and Local Transformation
The build up of individual and collective linguistic repertoires is inseparable from situated practices and power relations. Place‐to‐place variations in gendered consciousness, the consciousness of gender, and female subordination cannot be pried apart from place‐to‐place variations in the language out of which gender is constituted and to which gendered practices and unequal gender relations contribute. In the course of local transformation, wh…

The Concentration of High-Value-Added Manufacturing
Ws yHY are some industries spatially concentrated? Why does the nucleation of certain manufactures show a greater proclivity for some areas rather than others? What forces counteract the impetus toward concentration? These questions are not easily answered, nor is it likely that they are reducible to simple unassailable truths; for even as August L6sch, perhaps the most abstract of the location theory titans, remarked: Concepts like production or…

Manufacturing in the American Mercantile City: 1800–1840
The scale of individual production units, and the aggregate output of manufacturing located in early nineteenth century New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore was limited by factor shortages of capital and labor, the immobility of waterpower and the state of technology, an expensive and inadequate transport network, and an accessible market of restricted proportions. Those manufacturing functions found in the mercantile city were intimatel…

The patches of crop, meadow, and fallow together comprising the quilt of the agricultural landscape undergo an annual change of use, and sometimes, size or shape as well. The regional or national locational configuration of production units in any manufacturing category is constantly being altered by the appearance of new plants, by the demise of locationally or managerially inefficient establishments, and by adjustments in the relative importanc…
