Topics covered include: market organization a…
TripAdvisor as a 'geo-pastoral technology
If you possess a smartphone and use applications that are functionally bound to location, you are familiar with locative media. This genre of digital platform enables navigation and wayfinding, as well as promotes and rewards exploration. Surprisingly, the touristic significance of this has been seldom investigated. This article unpacks the capacity of TripAdvisor to facilitate and limit spatial exploration by analysing its non-digital antecedent…
Doing 'our bit
The expanding phenomenon of crowdfunding for healthcare creates novel potential roles for members of the public as fundraisers and donors of particular forms of provision. While sometimes interpreted as an empowering phenomenon (Gonzales et al., 2018), or a potentially useful communication of unmet needs (Saleh et al., 2021), scholars have predominantly been critical of the way in which crowdfunding for healthcare normalises unmet needs and exace…
Badiou and Lazzarato on the Politics of the Event
This paper addresses the question of what constitutes a political event through a comparison of the theories of Alain Badiou and Maurizio Lazzarato. Badiou's formalist approach to the event is contrasted with Lazzarato's vitalist, Deleuzian approach. Their different philosophical positions generate not only different perspectives on the nature of political events, but also different perspectives on subjectivity, political organization, and strate…
Housing and Residential Structure
First published in 1980, Housing and Residential Structure was written to take stock of the many changes that had recently taken place in explanatory approaches to housing markets and residential structure. The book is divided into three parts. Part One focuses on the demand-orientated approaches of human ecology and neo-classical economics. Part Two discusses the institutional approaches with reference to an analysis of private and public sector…
Metagaming
Event, politics, and space
This paper takes a critical view of Rancière’s ideas on politics, subjectivity, and space by building on the criticisms offered by Alain Badiou in a series of critical exchanges between the two authors. The first part of the paper reviews the main points of difference between them, which centre around their different interpretations of what constitutes a political event, subjectivity, and the nature of radical politics. Later sections then develo…

Rancière, Politics, and the Occupy Movement
This paper focuses on the work of Jacques Rancière, his view of politics, and its relevance for understanding key aspects of social protest movements such as the Occupy movement. The paper outlines some of Rancière's key concepts, such as the distinction between politics and the police, subjectivity, 'in-between spaces', and 'insubstantial communities', and attempts to locate his concept of politics within a wider spectrum of political forms in o…
Thinking the Event
The problem of theorising the 'event' as a moment of major time-space transformation has become a focus of enquiry in philosophy, history, and the social sciences. In this paper I explore the theory of the event to be found in the recent work of Alain Badiou, relating his ideas to the particular case of the 1871 Paris Commune. I focus on particular problems with his approach, using an alternative formulation of the event found in the work of Will…

Walking as an Aesthetic Practice and a Critical Tool
This paper gives an account of a fieldwork exercise in Paris which attempted to relate social theory and fieldwork practice. The paper begins with a brief historical review of different perspectives on the practice of walking, as a form of movement through the city with aesthetic and critical potential. A more detailed account is then given of the particular theories and practices of the avant-garde group known as the Situationist International, …
Capitalising on culture
English Over the last two decades, the cultural sphere appears to have gained a more central role in urban policy and urban governance. This article gives an outline of the changing cultural policy landscape in the UK over the last decade, and then explores the significance of this changing landscape from the standpoint of one of the country's main regional cities. It argues that there has been a growing congruence between national and local cult…
Testing Governance
This paper explores issues of urban governance through a case study of a major, waterfront regeneration project in an English city (Bristol). The first part of the paper sets the development of this project within the broader theoretical context of urban regime theory and changing structures of governance in the city. The paper then outlines the attempts to build a city-wide consensus in Bristol around a viable development project in a situation …

Is there progress in human geography? The problem of progress in the light of recent work in the philosophy and sociology of science
In this article I discuss the meaning of progress in geography and the social sciences in general in the light of recent debates in the philosophy and sociology of science. I review the way in which notions of progress derived from different philosophies of science have been used in geography in the past, before focusing on the kinds of constructivist challenges posed in recent work by authors such as Barnes. I criticize these approaches from a r…
The emergence of postmodernism on the urban waterfront
Partnerships, Business Elites and Urban Politics
This paper begins with a review of the conditions which have led to a proliferation of partnership arrangements in English cities and the related emergence of new business elites with interests in urban policy-making. The paper reviews a series of recent studies of these phenomena and comments on the importance of local economic and political factors in explaining inter-urban variations. The paper then presents an analysis of political and policy…

Postmodernism and the Crisis of the Intellectual
In this paper the author takes up the issue of the social responsibilities of academics, raised in recent articles in this journal, through a discussion of the crises facing contemporary intellectuals. The paper begins with a plea for a reflexive sociology of intellectuals, and after a brief review of early debates on the role of intellectuals, the author concentrates on Gouldner's grand vision of intellectuals as a 'flawed universal class'. In t…

Building society lending is compared over time and is contrasted with the pattern of local authority mortgage lending. The results of the Support Lending Scheme are also discussed. Finally the whole issue of finance for homeownership, with particular reference to the inner city, is evaluated in a dis…

The Use of Trend-Surface Parameters in Inter-Urban Comparisons
The general problem of comparing isarithmic maps of different urban areas is examined. Proposed solutions by Merriam and Sneath (1966) and Haggett (1967) are revised in the light of the indicated instability of coefficients under shifts in the grid systems for such maps. A number of stable classifications of city structures can be built up which are invariant under orthogonal grid rotations but most of these break down under non-orthogonal rotati…
