The Status of Difference - Doreen Massey: Geographies of Difference
Wednesday 4 November 2009, 18.30–20.00
The question of space is central to understanding cultural difference in globalisation. In this lecture Doreen Massey, an eminent geographer and writer on the socio-political significance of space, challenges some current thinking about space and difference. She argues we may have become complacent in our constant tropes of the inevitable hybridity of places, and in the manner of our elevation of ‘the migrant’ as the iconic figure of our time, and asks if the very notion of place can be reworked to have progressive meaning in a globalised world. Is it time to re-imagine the geographies of difference?
