Thanks to all of you who took the time to answer my question about geographers using Bakhtin. Much appreciated! Here's a summary of the suggestions. Folch-Serra M, 1990, "Place, voice, space: Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogical landscape" Environment and Planning D: Society and Space 8(3) 255 - 274 [The most common suggestion!] Holloway, J. and Kneale, J. "Bakhtin's Geographies" in Crang, M. and Thrift, N. 2000. Thinking Space. Routledge Particularly, p. 82-83. Crang, M. "Ryththms of the city: temporalised space and motion" in May J. and Thrift, N. 2001. Timespace. Routledge. Particularly, p. 188-192. Hemmingway, E.L. (2004) 'The silent heart of news' Space & Culture 7(4) 409-426 ... which uses the notion of chronotope to study the spatiality of television newsrooms. Hemmingway is not a geographer - actually based in communications. have a look here: http://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/~jkneale/ Kathleen Stuart's book Space on the Side of the Road mentions it quite a bit although i think she's in anthropology rather than geography. This paper makes good use of chronotope and dialogism; it's forthcoming - in fact might even be out: Kathleen O’Reilly, '‘‘Where the Knots of Narrative Are Tied and Untied’’: The Dialogic Production of Gendered Development Spaces in North India', Annals of the Association of American Geographers. This paper draws on the chronotope though not as explicitly as it might: Brosseau, M. (1995). The city in textual form: Manhattan Transfer’s New York. Ecumene (now Cultural Geographies) 2, 89-114. Holloway, Julian, and Kneale, James (2000). 'Mikhail Bakhtin: Dialogics of Space' , in Crang, M., and Thrift, N., (eds.), Thinking Space, London: Routledge, 71-88. Holloway, Julian, and Kneale, James (forthcoming) 'Dialogism (after Bakhtin)', in Kitchin and Thrift (eds), Encyclopedia of Human Geography, Elsevier Holloway, J. (2003). Spiritual embodiment and sacred rural landscapes. In Cloke, P. (ed) Country Visions, pp. 158-175. Harlow: Prentice Hall. Kneale, J. (2006). From beyond: H. P. Lovecraft and the place of horror. Cultural Geographies 13, 106-126. Leersson, J. 'The Western Mirage: On Celtic Chronotope in the European Imagination,' in (ed.) Timothy Collins, Decoding the Landscape, (Galway: Centre for Landscape Studies, 1994) pp. 1-11. Sheeran, P. 'The Road, The House, and the Grave: A Poetics of Galway Space, 1900-1970,' in (eds.) Gerald Moran, Raymond Gillespie and William Nolan, Galway History & Society Interdisciplinary Essays on the History of an Irish County (Dublin: Geography Publications, 1996) Brousseau, M. 'The City in Textual Form: Manhattan Transfer's New York,' Ecumene, 2.1 (1995) pp. 89-114. Sounds like time geography to me.
