致他们

不是因为有了草原我们就不再需要高山不是因为海洋的浩瀚我们就摒弃戈壁中的甘泉一只鸟的飞翔让天空淡忘过寂寞一匹马驹的降生并不妨碍骆驼的存在我曾经为一个印第安酋长而哭泣那是因为他的死亡让一部未完成的口述史诗永远地凝固成了黑暗!为此,我们热爱这个地球上的每一个生命就如同我们尊重这个世界万物的差异因为我始终相信一滴晨露的晶莹和光辉并不比一条大河的美丽逊色!二○○七年六月九日致他们@吉狄马加$全国青联!副主席、青海省人民政府副省长、当代著名诗人。~~     

读者活动透视

在小围村的考察 初秋的一天,<华夏人文地理>读者俱乐部的成员们来到深圳东部郊区的小围村,考察当地的人文环境和生态环境.之所以选择小围村,是因为此地具有依山、傍河、靠海等较为复杂的地理位置,且目前外界事物介入不是很多,自然生态和人文环境保持得相对完好.我们还特地邀请了仙湖植物园的陈珍传老师,使我们能较为专业化地调查小围村的植物种类和生态.此外,同行的俱乐部成员还有进行过多次田野调查和有动植物考察经验的行家里手.

For post-statist geographies

This article critically investigates past and contemporary treatments of the state within geographical scholarship. We propose that there is a silent statism within geography that has shaped it in ways that limit geographical imaginations. Statism, herein, refers to a pervasive, historically contingent organisational logic that valourises and naturalises sovereign, coercive, and hierarchical relationships, within and beyond state spaces. We argue that although the explicit, colonial statism that characterised early geography is past, traces of statism nonetheless underpin much of the discipline. While political geography has increasingly critiqued ‘state-centrism’, we argue that it is essential to move beyond critique alone. Using anarchist state theory to critically build upon perspectives in geography, we argue that statism is intellectually and politically problematic and should be recast as an active constituent of unequal social relations. In turn, we outline five core myths that form its logical foundations. In concluding, three initial areas in which post-statist geographies can make inroads are identified: interrogating intersections between statism and other power relations; constructing post-statist epistemologies and methodologies; and addressing how the state is represented in geographical work.     

Time After Time

Summary

This essay is an analysis of a series of writings by the Australian intellectual historian Ian Hunter on the subject of ‘theory’. It examines the methodological issues raised by attempting to write a history of theory. The essay particularly seeks to analyse the various aporias at stake in Hunter's project: between the empirical and the transcendental, between history and the event, and between theory and ‘empirical’ history.
