The return of the living dead

This response disputes the notion that geography has a collective amnesia about the contributions of its founding figures. Recent work in the discipline has indeed done much to explore the situated influence of key thinkers, encouraging re-engagement with both acknowledged ‘classics’ and lesser known texts. This response nonetheless concurs that geography could do more to explore the processes by which certain texts become identified as key influences on the trajectories of academic thought, particularly in an Anglo-American academy that remains dominated by linguistic and disciplinary traditions which can easily overlook the contributions of non-Anglophone authors and those who practised geography outside geography departments.
