Description

Geography Speaks offers a deep investigation into how the discipline of geography is shaped by speech act theory and performativity. Published by Routledge, this academic work begins with a critical analysis of J.L. Austin's speech act theory to examine the boundaries between fact and fiction. By assessing the different interpretations provided by John Searle and Jacques Derrida, the text explores how fictional elements exist within scientific knowledge. The book moves from theoretical foundations to practical applications within the geographical discipline. It examines five key areas of geography through the lens of speech acts and performance. This includes a specific focus on the performative aspects involved in the creation of place. This text provides a unique perspective for students and scholars interested in the relationship between language, scientific knowledge, and the physical and social construction of the world.
