Professor Peter Haggett (1933-2025)
Short AbstractThis is an obituary of the geographer Peter Haggett (1933-2025), written by colleagues at the University of Bristol
Landscape and phenomenology
What is the nature of the relationship between landscape and phenomenology? Phenomenology is a branch of continental philosophy which aims to elucidate and express the meaning and nature of things in the world – of phenomena – through a focus upon human lived experience, perception, sensation and understanding. One element of this aim involves developing an account of culture-nature relations that is radically different from an orthodox scientifi…

Forward cultural geographies
In this brief editorial, we chart the past and future of the journal cultural geographies as we launch our 25th volume. On a daring course, we seek to publish the most creative cultural work, and here suggest what that may include
Prior history of testing for syphilis, hepatitis B and hepatitis C among a population-based cohort of HIV-positive individuals and their HIV-negative controls
Understanding patterns of serological testing for hepatitis B & C, and syphilis among HIV-positive individuals, prior to HIV diagnosis, can inform HIV diagnosis, engagement and prevention strategies. This was a population-based, retrospective analysis of prior serological testing among HIV-positive individuals in Manitoba, Canada. HIV cases were age-, sex- and region-matched to HIV-negative controls at a 1:5 ratio. Conditional logistic regression…
Timely geographies: ‘New directions in cultural geography’ revisited
In this commentary I focus on the timing and timeliness of Cosgrove and Jackson's ( ) ‘New directions’ piece (Area, 19, 95–101). The discussion is structured in two parts. First, I consider the coincidence (or not) between the emergence of new cultural geography and the establishment of official measurements of research quality in UK Higher Education – an issue flagged for me by the contents of the Area issue in which ‘New directions’ appears. Se…
A landscape cannot be a homeland
What is the problem for which landscape is the answer? In this paper, I offer a response to this question, first posed at a meeting of landscape researchers in Brussels in 2011. I argue that the problem can be defined as ontopology, or what I call here homeland thinking, and I propose that a landscape cannot be a homeland. The salience of landscape as a critical term instead involves modes of thinking and feeling that chafe against invocations of…

Youth Perspectives on Sexual Health Workshops: Informing Future Practice
Newcomer and street-involved youth provided their perspective on the design and content of a sexual education workshop. Following the workshop, focus group discussions were held with 80 youth from four youth-serving agencies. Youth expressed increased levels of confidence and empowerment, consistent with recent criticism that a focus on specific behaviors as intervention outcome measures may miss important psychosocial changes in participants. So…
Dwelling and displacement: Tim Robinson and the questions of landscape
A study of the work of the writer Tim Robinson, this paper also presents a series of wider arguments regarding concepts of landscape, dwelling and writing. English-born, but resident in the far west of Ireland for nearly 40 years, Tim Robinson is the author of a series of increasingly féted books about the Aran Islands and Connemara. Erudite and dense, these texts present the Aran and Connemara landscape to the reader via a heady mix of cultural …
Social Structural Analysis of Street-Involved Youth in Winnipeg, Canada
In the present study, the social linkages of street-involved youth and correlates of infection with chlamydia and gonorrhea are explored. This is the first study to assess the social linkages of street- involved youth using RDS. Eleven street-involved youth aged 14 to 24 were selected as seeds to recruit their peers into the study using RDS (N=169). Study staff administered a questionnaire, obtained a urine specimen, and provided recruitment coup…

Shifting grounds: A response to Mitch Rose
Landscape, absence and the geographies of love
Working out from an encounter with a series of memorial benches at Mullion Cove, Cornwall, this paper develops an account of landscape in terms of absence and the non-coincidence of self and world. Arguing that recent work on the topics of landscape, embodiment, perception and material culture has tended to stress presence in various ways, I seek to explore instead here motifs of absence, distance, loss and haunting. The paper further attempts to…
On Geography and Materiality
In the context of human geography's encounter with the problematics that surround matter and materiality, this paper offers a principle that works towards a distinctive material imagination. This principle states that our image of matter should be multiplied, so that it can be attended to as taking place with the properties and capacities of any element or state. We elaborate this principle through three substantive discussions of materiality as …
Landscape, mobility, practice
This paper is an edited transcript of a panel discussion on 'Landscape, Mobility and Practice' which was held at the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) Annual Conference in September 2006. In the paper the panel engage with the work of geographers and others who have been drawing upon theories of practice to explore issues of mobility and how we encounter, apprehend, inhabit and move through landscapes. The con…
Landscape
Landscape is a stimulating introduction to and contemporary understanding of one of the most important concepts within human geography. A series of different influential readings of landscape are debated and explored, and, for the first time, distinctive traditions of landscape writing are brought together and examined as a whole, in a forward-looking critical review of work by cultural geographers and others within the last twenty to thirty year…
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Necrotizing Chondritis Complicating High Helical Ear Piercing Case Report: Clinical and Public Health Perspectives
The spectral geographies of W.G. Sebald
For Jacques Derrida, place and self are conjured, and unsettled, through haunting rather than dwelling. He argues that spectrality, the revenance of the ghostly, is an irreducible, incessant condition, and also one that demands new, themselves haunted, ways of writing. This article uses Derrida's spectrality to introduce, engage with and activate the work of the German author and academic W.G. Sebald. Sebald, who died in 2001, was a remarkably or…
Demographic, risk behaviour and personal network variables associated with prevalent hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and HIV infection in injection drug users in Winnipeg, Canada
The findings suggest that consideration of both respondent and personal network variables can assist in understanding the transmission patterns of HCV, HBV, and HIV. It is important to assess these effects for multiple pathogens within one setting as the associations identified and the direction of those associations can differ between pathogens

Depths and Folds: On Landscape and the Gazing Subject
The aim of this paper is to take some steps towards a renewed understanding of landscape and the gazing subject. A first main section, 'Depth, outlines Merleau-Ponty's final visual philosophy and its attempts to replace a spectatorial conception of vision with an embodied ontology that accords transcendance to the depth of the visual world. A second section, 'fold', engages with Deleuze's rendition of Leibniz's philosophy as a means of both criti…

A single day's walking: Narrating self and landscape on the South West Coast Path
This paper tells the story of a single day's walking, alone, along the South West Coast Path in North Devon, England. Forms of narrative and descriptive writing are used here as creative and critical means of discussing the varied affinities and distanciations of self and landscape emergent within the affective and performative milieu of coastal walking. Discussion of these further enables critical engagement with current conceptualizations of se…

Becoming-icy: Scott and Amundsen's South Polar voyages, 1910-1913
This paper presents a critical narration of the South Polar voyages of Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott. The argument which guides this narration is that it is through embodied, material practices - through relations of becoming anterior to a duality of discourse and world - that distinctive subjectivities and landscapes are produced. Within this conceptual frame, the paper focuses upon the differences between the expeditions led by Scott a…

New and Old Worlds: The Tempest and early colonial discourse
Although geographers have begun to critically re-examine the historical imbrication of their discipline within eighteenth- and nineteenth-century colonial discourses and practices, few studies have focused specifically upon the many complex interconnections between colonial and geographical discourses during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. In this paper I attempt to address this deficit via a reading of one of Shakespeare's final p…
