Social Geography Carries With It An Inherent Confusion. In The Popular Perception The Distinction Between Social And Cultural Geography Is Not Very Clear. The Term Social Phenomena Encompasses The Whole Framework Of Human Interaction With Environment, Leading To The Articulation Of Social Space By Diverse Human Groups In Different Ways. The End-Product Of Human Activity May Perceive In The Personality Of Regions; Each Pattern Acquiring Its Form Under The Over-Arching Influence Of Social Structure. Besides The Patterns, The Way The Social Phenomena Express Themselves In Space May Become A Cause Of Concern As Well. As Compared To The Other Branches Of Geography Social Geography Has A Certain Amount Of Recency. Social Geography, Like Its Parent Discipline, Is Primarily Concerned With Space. This Distribution Forms Our Pattern. Black Immigrants May Well Be Segregated In Particular Districts, Because Of Their Earning Power, White Attitudes, Political Decisions, Personal Preference, And So On.

Social Geographies by Kath Browne,Dhiren Borisa,Mary Gilmartin,Niharika Banerjea Pdf

Social Geographies: The Basics introduces what social geography is, and what it might be. It outlines the key contours of social geographies, and also disrupts some of the conventions of the discipline in both its content and structure. This book approaches social geographies by beginning with the resistances, contestations and ‘solutions’ that communities use to challenge exclusions in place and space in order to create equitable societies. It then addresses the inequalities, precarities, and ‘problems’ that prompt these interventions. This allows the book to emphasise the importance of activism in the here and now, and to show how activism often makes issues visible and contested in ways that are then theorised by academics. Social Geographies starts with solidarities, communities, and networks before moving to examine difference, precarity, and mobilities. Each chapter offers key case studies that centre resistance, contestations of inequitable power, and local knowledges that can often be seen as ‘solutions’ to national and transnational issues, creating a decolonial understanding of ‘social geography from below’ within and across national contexts. This book is essential reading for undergraduate students and readers new to the area, as well as anyone studying introductory geography, social, cultural and critical geography, ‘the spatial turn’ and issues of spatialities, and key issues like precarity, power, difference, equality, and mobilities.

Doing Gender, Doing Geography by Saraswati Raju,Kuntala Lahiri-Dutt Pdf

Until the 1970s gender had been invisible in analyses of social space and place in the androcentric discipline of geography. While recent contributions to feminist geography have challenged this, in India the engagement of geographers with gender, by being conservative in its choice of focus and orthodox in methodology, has been unable to destabilise the established disciplinary order. However, with younger scholars becoming increasingly interested in studying gender in geography, novel and innovative methods that include combinations of quantitative and qualitative analyses, visual sources and in-depth case studies are being tried out and accepted in geography despite its masculine legacy. This pioneering study brings together Indian geographers’ contributions to understanding gender, and through them, seeks to enrich the discipline of geography. It engages with the recent ‘spatial turn’ in the social sciences, which has reclaimed the explanatory power of space and place in social theory that had been nearly lost to deconstructive postmodernist scholarship. The volume draws entirely from the Indian scholarship, showcasing contextualised knowledge production, but hopes to initiate a a dialogue with scholars elsewhere working with feminist methodologies.
