Overview

This handbook provides cutting-edge insights into the dynamic and cross-cutting field of cultural geography, arguing that this vibrant field can provide important perspectives on the most significant academic, political and creative conversations of our times. Written by leading and emerging scholars from around the world, the 51 chapters focus on the connecting threads and imperatives which underpin work in cultural geography and allied disciplines, outlining many of the different approaches, theoretical traditions, and trajectories which push the boundaries of contemporary thinking. This innovative handbook is structured around four core sections, foregrounding a series of contemporary concerns and critical moments, lively entanglements, creative cultural practices and spaces, and imperatives which have preoccupied scholars and creative practitioners. It acts as an essential guide for researchers, undergraduate students and postgraduate students in human geography and related fields, as well as activists and creative practitioners who practise cultural geography in a myriad of different ways. Chapter 48 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 International license.
