  • the political pivot of geography
    The Geographical Journal, 2004
    Co-Authors: Gerard Kearns
    Abstract:

    The paper examines the Geographical work of Peter Kropotkin and Halford Mackinder, making clear the political choices behind their very different Geographical imaginations. Both writers responded directly to Keltie's report on Geographical education and the paper uses these manifestoes as the starting point for an analysis of their relations to Geographical Thought and Geographical institutions. his paper explores the political nature of responses to John Scott Keltie's (1885) report on Geographical education. Halford Mackinder and Peter Kropotkin both wrote prospectuses for the discipline as part of a campaign to promote geography, a campaign sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) and focused by Keltie's report. Mackinder's 'Scope and methods' (1887) and Kropotkin's 'What geography ought to be' (1885) were prompted directly by Keltie. Both argued that geography could be made relevant to modern, post-exploration times. As ever, relevance involves political choices and utopian ambitions. Here, the two men parted company. Mackinder's 'The Geographical pivot of history' (1904) showed one way geography might be relevant to current affairs. It was a resolutely imperialist vision but it was not the only alternative available to geographers pursuing relevance. This paper draws a contrast between Mackinder's imperialist vision and Kropotkin's anarchist hopes. These choices were the political pivot around which contesting geographies were organized. The RGS provided a forum for both and in this period bequeathed British geography a liberal attitude to debate that should be nurtured as both a legacy and a responsibility.

  • between ontology and representation locating gilles deleuze s difference in itself in and for Geographical Thought
    Progress in Human Geography, 2017
    Co-Authors: Daniel Cockayne, Derek Ruez, Anna J. Secor
    Abstract:

    The concept of difference has long been integral to Geographical Thought. However, it is rare for geographers to consider precisely what difference is, or how it functions, and there are several contrasting traditions through which difference is understood. We argue that geographers could helpfully extend their theorizations of difference through Deleuze’s philosophy of ‘difference-in-itself’. We examine the value of a ‘difference-in-itself’ that views difference as generative, originary, and primary, in productive tension with conceptions of difference that tend to, purposefully or otherwise, subordinate difference to presupposed identity-based, representational categories, or dialectical forms of contradiction and opposition.
