This seminar explores some critical developments and debates within cultural geography while, at the same time, introducing a sub-field of geography that remains notoriously difficult to define or characterize in any coherent way.  Cultural geography is treated here as a loose assemblage of conceptions, methods, theories, and politics reflecting an array of understandings of both ‘culture’ and ‘geography’.  Generally, my approach is to consider two dominant modes of inquiry in cultural geography, one broadly materialist with an orientation toward social constructivism, and the other broadly humanist with an orientation toward phenomenology, existentialism, and being.  The former orientation emphasizes questions of epistemology while the latter emphasizes questions of ontology.

 

Readings

We will read three books in their entirety (available through the bookstore):

  • K. Basso, Wisdom Sits in Places (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1996).
  • T. Cresswell, On the Move (London & New York: Routledge, 2006).
  • G. Yúdice, The Expediency of Culture (Durham: Duke University Press, 2003).

All other readings are available online, either via Norlin e-reserve (indicated by an asterisk and found at http://libraries.colorado.edu/screens/coursereserves.html), or via Chinook http://libraries.colorado.edu.

 

Requirements

Being there:  The expectation of regular attendance, preparation for and complete participation in all meetings goes without saying.  This doesn’t mean you have to be a blabbermouth.  It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure a meeting environment in which all voices are encouraged, heard, and respected.

Facilitating:  Everyone is expected to facilitate the discussion for one meeting (see below).

Misguiding: Since cultural geography is meant to be a practice as much as a topic of contemplation, there will be a brief assignment involving some “fieldwork.”  The specific assignment will be discussed on September 26th.  It will involve a brief, but very unconventional, written product, due on Halloween (October 31st).

Writing:  The primary product of the seminar is your research essay.  It is expected that this paper will be submitted to a journal of your choice for publication consideration.  Extended abstracts and bibliographies for the paper will be due November 14th.  Final papers will be due December 12th.  I will be scheduling mandatory meetings during late October in which we will discuss you paper topic and strategies for publication.

 

Facilitators

Each week’s topic will have a designated facilitator (either an individual or team, depending on our numbers).  Facilitating involves three separate responsibilities.  1) Write a brief discussion paper (see below) on the week’s readings, to be circulated no later than 3:00 PM on the Tuesday prior to class.  2) Facilitate discussion during the meeting.  3) Write a brief follow-up to be circulated no later than 6:00 PM on the Thursday following class.

 

Discussion papers

Your discussion paper should do several things:

  • Offer an interpretation of the arguments presented in the readings.  Note that an interpretation is not the same as a summary.  Do not simply paraphrase and restate the key points.  Instead, offer your own understanding of the arguments, why they are (or are not) significant, and what they strengths and/or weaknesses may be.
  • Relate the readings to other work.  Try and situate the readings in a broader scholarly conversation.  If your weed involves multiple articles, provide an interpretation of how they relate to each other.  If your week is a single reading, discuss this reading in relation to others.
  • Offer some questions about the readings and their overall theme or topic for discussion and provocation.

 

Grades

Facilitating:                 20%

Misguiding                  15%
