Postcolonial critics have fundamentally shifted current thinking about
hegemony, culture and knowledge structures and established postcolonial
thought as an important area of academic enquiry. Although the influence
of postcolonial thought has spread across many fields of geographical
enquiry, beyond development studies economic geography has rarely been
touched by postcolonial critiques. Similarly, postcolonial scholars
have been criticised for their sporadic, partial engagement with the
economic realm. In these sessions we aim to bring postcolonial and
economic geographies together in a broad way that challenges and
enriches them both.
Papers might consider, but not be limited to, some of the following
themes:
** the (neo)colonial impulses of economics, economic geography and the
production of economic knowledges
** treatments of 'the economic' in postcolonial thought
** the possibilities of postcolonial geographies of, for example,
globalisation, technical change, financial regulation and
de-regulation, the role of international lending agencies, provisioning
diverse livelihoods
** dialogues with development, feminist, post-socialist and postmodern
geographies
** postcolonial explorations of production, circulation, consumption,
reproduction
Please send expressions of interest to any of the organizers (and before
you submit an abstract to AAG) by 30 September 2004 at the latest.
