  • Rethinking Mobility at the Urban-Transportation-Geography Nexus
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Hull - CRIS 1 Rethinking mobility at the urban-transportation-geography nexus Andrew E.G. Jonas Department of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Hull University Hull HU6 7RX United Kingdom [email protected] Author final version October 2014 This is the accepted pre-proof manuscript version of a chapter to appear in J. Cidell and D. Prytherch (eds.) (2015) Transportation, Mobility and the Production of Urban Space (London: Routledge), pp.281-94. Further details at: http://www.routledgementalhealth.com/books/details/9781138891340/ Abstract Building on the main sections of the book, this concluding chapter identifies four thematic areas for future research into the urban-transportation-geography nexus as follows: (1) the everyday experience of transport and mobility in the “ordinary city”; (2) the environment and the urban politics of mobility; (3) connected cities and competitive states; and (4) transportation mobility and new imaginaries of city-regional development. Introduction The “new mobilities paradigm” (Sheller and Urry 2006) in social and cultural studies is transforming the ways in which scholars think about space – especially urban space (Amin and Thrift 2002). It comes on the back of wider discussions about the spatiality of social life in cities, discussions often inspired by the writings of critical geographers and sociologists, such as Doreen Massey (1991) and Manuel Castells (2000), who place emphasis on understanding how urban processes are constituted through relationships, flows and networks extending far beyond the boundaries of the city. The status of world cities like London, for example, depends upon not just the spatial concentration of global financial institutions 2 within city boundaries but also the nature of global connections shaping the social characteristics of its diverse boroughs (Massey 2007).

  • Human Geography and the Hinterland: the Case of Torsten Hägerstrand’S ‘Belated’ Recognition

Human Geography and the hinterland: The case of Torsten Hägerstrand’s ‘belated’ recognition René BRAUER a *, Mirek DYMITROW b Abstract Seeing Human Geography as a nexus of temporally oscillating concepts, this paper investigates the dissemination of scientific ideas with a focus on extra-scientific factors. While scientific progress is usually evaluated in terms of intellectual achievement of the individual researcher, geographers tend to forget about the external factors that tacitly yet critically contribute to knowledge production. While these externalities are well-documented in the natural sciences, social sciences have not yet seen comparable scrutiny. Using Torsten Hägerstrand’s rise to prominence as a concrete example, we explore this perspective in a social-science case – Human Geography. Applying an STS (Science and Technology Studies) approach, we depart from a model of science as socially-materially contingent, with special focus on three extra-scientific factors: community norms, materiality and the political climate. These factors are all important in order for knowledge to be disseminated into the hinterland of Human Geography. We conclude it is these types of conditions that in practice escape the relativism of representation. Keywords: knowledge production, hinterland, social science, Human Geography, Torsten Hägerstrand, STS Article history: Received 6 May 2016; Accepted 3 January 2017; Published 30 June 2017 1.

  • Eliahu Stern Ordinary Landscapes (David Meining) and Symbolic
    Book Reviews 81 The third part introduces selected approaches to transport analysis. It actually includes new material on three previous topics: spatial interaction models, network analysis, and urban transport analysis. The new material added to the book was assembled from the transportation literature and not from geography. Surprisingly though, the last chapter returns to network analysis from a positivistic geographical perspective, analyzing linkages and hub-and-spoke systems. Once again, however, it concentrates solely on the U.S. system. The increasing use of GIS and GPS systems in both transportation research and application is only mentioned in the final comments. Even though this book is a basic introduction to transport geography, the second edition of the pioneering 1973 text should have included more material on innovations in the field, including navigation systems, smart highways, time-based transportation mapping, GIS and GPS usage, spatial effects of telecommunication, environmental effects of transport systems, and a wider international perspective. Until we have such a text, however, the second edition of Geography of Transportation will serve as the main text for those who will not 'shop' elsewhere. Eliahu Stern Ben-Gurion University of the Negev LANDSCAPE IN AMERICA by George F. Thompson. Austin: University of Texas Press, 1995. Geography is (also) about landscape, and the sensitivity to landscape is a necessary aspect of the geographer's craft. Yet the term landscape is also used by art historians and cultural historians as well as by painters, poets, planners, and architects. In modern usage, landscape and the representation of landscape seem to blend. This, of course, is no coincidence.
