Jean Gottmann's Atlantic “Transhumance” and The
Finisterra, XXXIII, 65, 1998, pp. 159-172 JEAN GOTTMANN’S ATLANTIC “TRANSHUMANCE” AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIS SPATIAL THEORY LUCA MUSCARÀ 1 “ ...territory, although a very substantial, material, measurable and concrete entity, is the product and indeed the expression of the psychological features of human groups. It is indeed a psychosomatic phenomenon of the community, and as such is replete with inner conflicts and apparent contradictions. ” (GOTTMANN, 1973: 15) Abstract: This paper analyses Gottmann’s spatial model in relation to his complex biography which took place during some of the great historical changes of the 20 th century. In particular, it relates the concept of Megalopolis to his theoretical writings in political geography. The development of the latter ones could not be fully understood without reference to his “transhumance” between the two sides of the Atlantic from 1941 to 1961. Key-words: Gottmann, atlantic transhumance, spatial theory, Megalopolis, political geography. Résumé: LA “T RANSHUMANCE ” A TLANTIQUE DE JEAN GOTTMANN ET LE DEVELOPPEMENT DE SA THEORIE SPATIALE – Cet article analyse le modèle spatial de Jean Gottmann en relation avec sa complexe biographie, tout au long de certains des grands changements du XX e siècle. Nous développons, en particulier, la relation entre le concept de Mégalopolis et ses écrits théoriques en géographie politique. Le développement de la pensée de Gottmann doit prendre en compte, pour être compris, sa “transhumance” entre les deux côtés de l’Atlantique qui a eu lieu de 1941 à 1961. Mots-clés: Gottmann, transhumance atlantique, théorie spatiale, Megalopolis, géographie politique.

Neil Smith, 1954-2012: Radical Geography, Marxist Geographer, Revolutionary Geographer
1 Neil Smith, 1954-2012: Radical Geography, Marxist Geographer, Revolutionary Geographer Don Mitchell Department of Geography, Syracuse University and Advanced Research Collaborative, Graduate Center City University of New York September 29, 2013 "Although we found it easy to be brilliant, we always found it confusing to be good." Salman Rushdie, Midnight's Children (quotation found pinned to the bulletin board in Neil Smith’s study when passed away) Neil Smith hated hagiography. He would rail against it in his history and theory of geography seminars at Rutgers University in the early 1990s, holding up what he thought were particularly egregious examples: obituaries published in the Annals. Hagiography for Neil was the antithesis of what our disciplinary history ought to be: it was uncritical and celebratory, when what were needed were hard-nosed engagements with ideas, with real histories that understood ideas as the product of struggle and error as well as genius and insight. Even worse, hagiography extracted its subject from history, setting him (usually him) apart from the world as a lone genius rather than fully ensconcing him in messy social (and personal) practices, situating ideas within the social (and personal) histories from which they emerged. Hagiography had little room to show how what was genius in someone’s ideas might be inextricably linked to, indeed very much a function of both social context and what was flawed or less savory in that person. Hagiography denies that ideas are embodied. Neil’s ideas were embodied. 2 Indeed, David Harvey calls Neil “the perfect practicing Marxist – completely defined by his contradictions.”1 Born in Leith, the old port of Edinburgh, and raised one of four children of a school teaching father and homemaking mother in Dalkeith, a small working-class town to the southeast of the city, Neil had an indestructible passion for the natural world, starting with his native Midlothian landscape and quickly spiraling out, for birdwatching, and for gardening, and he became geography’s preeminent urban theorist. -

The Enduring Importance of National Capital Cities in the Global Era
URBAN AND REGIONAL University of RESEARCH Michigan COLLABORATIVE Working Paper www.caup.umich.edu/workingpapers Series URRC 03-08 The Enduring Importance of National Capital Cities in the Global Era 2003 Scott Campbell Urban and Regional Planning Program College of Architecture and Urban Planning University of Michigan 2000 Bonisteel Blvd. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2069 [email protected] Abstract: This paper reports on the early results of a longer comparative project on capital cities. Specifically, it examines the changing role of national capital cities in this apparent global era. Globalization theory suggests that threats to the monopoly power of nation-states and the rise of a transnational network of global economic cities are challenging the traditional centrality of national capital cities. Indeed, both the changing status of nation-states and the restructuring world economy will reshuffle the current hierarchy of world cities, shift the balance of public and private power in capitals, and alter the current dominance of capitals as the commercial and governmental gateway between domestic and international spheres. However, claims in globalization theory that a new transnational system of global cities will make national boundaries, national governments and national capitals superfluous, albeit theoretically provocative, are arguably both ahistorical and improvident. Though one does see the spatial division of political and economic labor in some modern countries, especially in federations (e.g., Washington-New York; Ottawa-Toronto; Canberra-Sydney; Brasilia-Sao Paolo), the more common pattern is still the co- location of government and commerce (e.g., London, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Cairo). The emergence of global cities is intricately tied to the rise of nation-states -- and thus to the capital cities that govern them. -

Geographic Conquest: Isaiah Bowman's View of South America
seven Geographic Conquest: Isaiah Bowman’s View of South America The great epic of America is the conquest of the land. From the outset geography has par- ticipated in this conquest, leading the way at some junctures, profiting greatly from fol- lowing leadership at others. Geog raph i cal science thus has had at its disposal a laboratory of continental dimensions. Out of it have come our techniques, our methods of analysis and synthesis, and our great contributions to geographic science and philosophy. There never was a time, however, when that laboratory invited our scientific attention more than it does today. Contemporary society, in trying to plan for the future, is taking stock of its human and its natural resources. In this stock- taking and in certain aspects of the planning, geography has a part. — isaiah bowman, quoted in Charles C. Colby, “Changing Currents of Geographic Thought in America” (emphasis added) In his 1935 presidential address to the Society of American Geographers, Charles C. Colby acknowledged the mutual interaction between building the field of geography and the expansion of the U.S. nation. He presented the U.S. West and, by extension, the American continent as a great laboratory for geographic research. A practical science, geography had participated in the “conquest of the land,” contributing a continental inventory of resources for economic growth. In the mid- nineteenth century, through surveys and re- connaissance work, geographers had assisted the construction of the trans- Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/books/book/chapter-pdf/669559/9780822374503-008.pdf by guest on 26 September 2021 continental railroad, mediated disputes around the U.S.- Mexico border, and facilitated the settlement of the Mississippi basin.
