Dear all,
Just in case anyone else hasn't spotted the bit of geographical
popularising and parody going on in 'City Pages' a US internet-
magazine. Then go find the affectionate and amusing treatment of
John Goss's recent Annals of the AAG paper on the Mall of
America...
http://www.citypages.com/thepaper/detail.asp?ArticleID=7491&page
=1
I quote 'Thanks to an academic treatise published in the March
issue of the Annals of the Association of American Geographers (a
City Pages staff favorite), self-respecting highbrows from hither
and yon can now shop till they drop without shame. After devoting
himself to a full ten days of intense "semiotic reading and
participant observation" inside the mother of all malls, Jon Goss, a
professor of geography at the University of Hawaii, retreated,
stunned and enlivened, to the ivory tower.'
If John Goss is a CGF reader, does he have any comment on this
use of his article?
It also made me wonder if the Annals could do something as
inventive in terms of publication on the internet?
Regards
Eric
