abstract

  • Amongst recent contributions to the field, this report detects ongoing and emergent topics within disciplinary
    histories and reflects on the evolving meaning of the "international" character of geography as it has been
    conceived and practised over the years. A set of books on the long-standing efforts to internationalise the
    geographical community, and on the intellectual histories of critical geographies, constitute an outstanding
    resource for historical reflection and self-awareness. The report argues for further critical interrogation of
    how recent calls to pluralise, internationalise and radicalise the history and philosophy of geography interact
    with prevailing historiographical stances, sets of theories and philosophical moods.
