“…Des entreprises inscrites dans les canons d'une pensée trop modernisante en ont fait la (dure?) expérience comme celle de Harvey associée à une tentative sexiste et autoritaire, à une formulation supplémentaire d'une métathéorie peu soucieuse des « voix dominées », c'est-à-dire de celles des groupes marginalisés et des femmes en particulier (Massey, 1991, Deutsche, 1991 15 . On comprend ainsi que, y compris dans les écrits qui cherchent à objectiver la réalité postmoderne, le mouvement de pensée déconstructionniste est une clé indispensable de compréhension.…”

La géographie britannique a été traversée depuis la fin des années 1980 par un ample mouvement, qualifié de « ostmoderne », qui en a profondément bouleversé les orientations. Il est possible de ramener le postmodernisme à deux tendances principales. La première, dont la description critique est l'objet précis de cet article, consiste en une identification des caractéristiques de notre époque dont les attributs seraient différents de ceux de la modernité. Dans cette perspective, il est question d'enregistrer le passage à une logique culturelle de la dilution et du brassage des références en lieu et place de la logique moderne de la séparation et de la classification. Ce premier versant du postmodernisme continue de s'appuyer sur les outils classiques de la démarche scientifique. Il comporte cependant en germe l'idée que notre changement d'époque appelle un changement de nos modes de pensée. C'est précisément cette tentative de « penser autrement » qui constitue l'autre versant du postmodernisme en tant que rupture de la conception scientifique moderne. Sa description fait l'objet d'un deuxième article dans le prochain numéro de la revue.Since the late 1980s, an important current labelled "postmodern" has swept through British geography and deeply affected its orientations. Postmodernism can be summed up as two main trends. One, whose critical description is the main object of this article, consists in identifying the main characteristics of our epoch which are credited with attributes distinct from those of modernity. In this perspective, the aim is to diagnose the transition to a cultural logic of dilution and cross-fertilisation of references instead of the modem logic of separation and classification. This first side of postmodernism still makes use of the established methodology of scientific enquiry. However it implies the notion that to a new era should correspond new thinking modes. It is precisely this attempt at « thinking differently » which constitutes the other side of postmodernism as breaking away from the modem scientific concept. Its description will be the object of a second article in the next issue of the journal

“…This has led Mona Domosh (1991) to propose a 'feminist historiography of geography' that connects these historical accounts and experiences to contempor;ary feminism and social theory. Closely related are explorations of gender and postcolonialism (Lazreg, 1988;Mohanty, 1989;Rao, 1991) and introspections concerning race and gender (Sanders, 1990;Cohen, 1990;Mitchell and Smith, 1990 (Deutsche, 1991;Massey, 1991;Rose, 1991) and, in Harvey's case, for systematically misconstruing the work of feminist artists. Beyond sexism, however, these responses also allege a more thorough-going recidivism: 'foundationalism', 'universalis:m', 'materialism', 'idealism', 'determinism', 'economism', 'totalism', 'stucturalism', > 'heterosexism', 'modernism', 'objectivism', 'realism', 'essentialism', and 'voyeurism' all comingle and intertwine with sexism, especially in Harvey's text, we are told.…”

“…The drift of Massey's argument is toward a feminized, more integrative sociospatial discourse, a project already taken on board by numerous feminists: Bondi (1990a;199C'b), Katz ( 1991 ), McDowell ( 1991 ), Marston (1990), Pratt and Hanson (1988), Rose (1990) (Deutsche, 1991: (Deutsche, 1991: 7). But how then is 'significant difference' to be identified and who is to do it?…”

Higher quality 6" x 9" black and white photographie prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact Postone (1996: 1) calls "the fundamental core of capitalismy', the thesis puis this reinterpretation of the explanatorydiagnostic basis of Marx's critique to work on three major thernes of historicalgeographical matenalism: the production of space, the production of nature and the production of subjectivity. It does so in order to illustrate the explanatory power, thematic reach and theoretical coherence of this reinterpretation, as well as its relevance to the late capitalist world. In closhg, the normative or anticipatory-utopian basis of this reinterpreted historical-geographical materialism is considered and its political implications for today thereby scrutinised. If it is today considered rather Utlfashionable to express a continued interest in M h a n . . political-economy, then 1 have many people to thank for sustauiing and encouraging my critical inquiries. Although we have rather different views on the limits and possibilities of Mdsm(s), my greatest vote of thanks must go to Derek Gregory. His intluence has, quite simply, been inestimable. In ways that 1 hope he will recognise, his own thinking and wrïting has palpably shaped the arguments I develop here. Additionally, the rare fteedom he has granted me as a PhD student has allowed me to came out rny own inteilectual path and for that I am deeply grateful. If Derek's influence has been crucial, then so too has that of Trevor Bames. A devotee of political-economy, Trevor's published works, his continuhg support -despite his preference for SrafEa over Marx (!)
