CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY: A Critical Dictionary of Key Concepts

As geography has become influenced by such themes as postcolonial studies, feminism and psychoanalysis, so students have found it necessary to engage with ideas and concepts outside the traditional boundaries of their subject. This exciting new work provides students with an essential aid to understanding these new ideas.

Leading international contributors across a range of disciplines provide a series of short essays around the key concepts in cultural geography. The essays range from questions that have recently emerged to more established ideas that warrant critical examination. Representation, positionality, space, moral geographies, the body, governance, hybridity, diaspora and cyborg cultures are among the topics included. Written in a clear and concise manner, the result is a rich and stimulating work that will be welcomed by students of cultural geography, cultural studies, sociology and related disciplines.
