Geography Speaks: Performative Aspects of Geography (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Geography Speaks is an investigation of how geography is informed by speech act theory and performativity, focusing on five key aspects of the geographical discipline. Starting with a critical analysis of how J.L. Austin's speech act theory probed the permeability between fact and fiction, it then assesses oppositional interpretations by John Searle and Jacques Derrida. This is an interdisciplinary text with a distinct and clear focus on cultural geography.
