George,
that sounds like a piece that Michael Eliot-Hurst published:
1985, Geography has neither existence nor future, in R.J. Johnston, ed.,
The Future of Geography, Methuen, 59-91.
He did a similar article:
1980, Geography, social science and society: towards a de-definition,
Australian Geographical Studies, 18, 3-21.
cheers,
lawrence
