3. In the Tracks of Historical-Geographical Materialism.

Author

Clarno, Andrew

Subjects
MATERIALISM, SOCIAL theory
Abstract

In this paper, I critically review the socio-spatial theories that have emerged out of the work of David Harvey. "Historical-geographical materialism" represents the most sophisticated, most dynamic approach to spatiality in the literature today. Focusing on the work of David Harvey, Neil Smith, Erik Swyngedouw, and Neil Brenner, I discuss the major theoretical advances within the historical-geographical materialist lineage. I then critically survey the field of historical-geographical materialism, identifying eight serious weaknesses, the ways that researchers have attempted to address these problems, and the holes that remain. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
