  • Sámi 'Geographs' and the Promise of Concentric Geographies
    From relations to dissociations in spatial thinking: Sámi ‘geographs’ and the promise of concentric geographies ARI AUKUSTI LEHTINEN Lehtinen, Ari Aukusti (2011). From relations to dissociations in spatial thinking: Sámi ‘geographs’ and the promise of concentric geographies. Fennia 189: 2, pp. 14–30. Helsinki. ISSN 0015-0010. This article critically examines the currently popular renewal in human geogra- phy inspired by relational thinking. Particular emphasis is directed to formula- tions informed by the philosophies of immanence. It is argued that this tendency carries the risk of being narrowed into cursory excursions on the immediate geographies of what happens. The article is consequently concerned about the resulting scholarly indifference when it comes to socio-spatial discontinuities and circles of particularity. It is also shown in what type of settings the ‘imma- nent relationalism’ becomes a too general view to explain satisfactorily the earthly co-being of humans and non-humans, and presents alternative ‘lines of flight’. The case study focusing on the indigenous Sámi in the European North exemplifies the nuances of cultural domination versus decline in a multilingual milieu whereupon some criteria for identifying particular place-making under the general pressures of all-inclusion are formulated. Keywords: Sámi homeland, geographies of difference, comparative reading, ‘geographs’, polyglot interfaces, relational and concentric spaces Ari Aukusti Lehtinen, Department of Geographical and Historical Studies, Uni- versity of Eastern Finland, P.O.

  • The Region in Political Economy John Harrison* Department of Geography, Loughborough University
    Geography Compass 2/3 (2008): 814–830, 10.1111/j.1749-8198.2008.00113.x The Region in Political Economy John Harrison* Department of Geography, Loughborough University Abstract A decade ago, regions were the hot topic in political economy. Convinced by accounts of how regions were competitive economic territories per excellence and crucial sites for promoting a plural society, the ‘new regionalism’ ascended to a position of orthodoxy in political economy. Today, the memory of these halcyon days is but a distant one with the past decade seeing regions be the site for a number of topical debates that appear, at first sight, to challenge the regional concept: the collapse of the new regionalist orthodoxy; the theoretical ascend- ancy of relational approaches to conceptualising spatiality; and the political ascendancy of the ‘city-region’ concept. All of which suggests that the regional concept may be under threat in contemporary political economy. But it also prompts the need to confront searching questions as to whether we are in fact witnessing the awakening of a new geography of the region. This article empha- sises the latter, arguing that what we are witnessing is the emergence of a new era of ‘relational regionalism’ in political economy. Something funny happened in the early 1980s. The region, long considered an interesting topic to historians and geographers, but not considered to have any interest for mainstream western social science, was rediscovered by a group of political economists, sociologists, political scientists, and geographers . It was asserted that the region might be a fundamental basis of economic and social life ‘after mass production’.

Geography in Sweden 1 Geography in Sweden Staffan Helmfrid 1 At the Vega banquet of 24th April 1952, celebrating the return of the Norwegian-British- Swedish Antarctic Expedition 1949-52, Sven Hedin told us in his dinner speech how as a boy he had seen the glorious return to Stockholm of SS Vega on 24th April 1880. Seeing the fireworks and the royal festivity in honour of the conqueror of the Northeast-Passage, Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, he took a solemn decision to return one day like Nordenskiöld as a hero explorer of unknown lands. 2 With the Vega expedition geography was at the front of a new period of scientific glory in Sweden. But it was not yet established at Swedish universities. It was taught within history, geology or politology. Sven Hedin was the first Swede to acquire a “Doktor”- degree in geography.
