“…In this paper, we acknowledge the post-positivist approach of the so-called new quantitative geography (e.g. Barnes, 2004Barnes, , 2010Wyly, 2014), which is still based on the analysis of data, but which, among other factors, takes into account human behaviour and its influence on the "socially constructed" data used in quantitative analyses, stresses the importance of a geographical interpretation of results. Another piece of literature speaks of the critical quantitative geography, which acknowledges the need to fuse quantitative analysis with critical approaches based on challenging the spatialsocial structures induced by capitalist economy (e.g.…”

Selected traits of the spatial organisation of a geographical environment which stem from two types of human behaviour (locational and interactive) are examined in this paper. An attempt is made to find and account for similarities in the spatial patterns of scalar and vector geographical data. In doing so, the paper analyses a core-periphery dichotomy, based on socio-economic information, and travel-to-work patterns. The paper uses the concept of a region as an integrating and focusing framework for the study. Formal regions (peripheral areas) are defined through the application of principal components analysis and cluster analysis; functional regions are defined by a standard rule-based regionalisation algorithm. The territory of the Czech Republic is used as an area for testing the basic hypotheses. The results show that there is some form of interrelationship and complementarity between the spatial distribution of scalar data and vector data, i.e. between spatial structure and spatial interaction patterns, which together form the spatial organisation of a geographical environment.

“…Said another way, I wish to draw from my geographical training to illustrate the ways in which the job market renders us (for example) mobile, immobile, fixed, unhinged, liberated, and caged. I intend for this paper to go hand in hand with the irregular yet significant papers published on academic geographers' lives (Bondi, 2014;Dowling, 2008;Hammett, 2012;Purcell, 2007;Roberts, 2000;Rossi, 2008;Sidaway, 1997) and as a small addition to the history of the discipline (e.g., Barnes, 2010). In using personal stories it draws inspiration from Domosh's (2000) paper on her job search process.…”

This essay uses a geographical vocabulary to describe the process of looking for and obtaining academic employment in critical human geography since the onset of the global recession. The first goal of this paper is to document a transformative moment in the history of geography by narrating stories of the job hunt. The second goal of the paper is to map the liminality, precarity, and contradictions of the contemporary job search. The final goal is to reflect on how the academic job search affects our approach to and relationship with the discipline of geography.De la spatialité du marché de l'emploi universitaire en géographie critique humaine Cet article utilise un vocabulaire géographique pour décrire le processus de recherche et d'obtention d'un emploi universitaire en géographie critique humaine depuis le début de la crise économique mondiale. Le but premier de cet article est de documenter un moment transformatif dans l'histoire de la géographie en faisant le récit d'histoires de chasse à l'emploi. Le deuxième but de l'article est d'établir la liminalité, la précarité et les contradictions de la recherche d'emploi contemporaine. Le dernier but est de réfléchir sur la manière dont la recherche d'emploi universitaire affecte notre approche et nos rapports envers la discipline de la géographie.Mots-clés: emploi universitaire; métaphores géographiques; recherche d'emploi; précarité; aspiration Sobre la espacialidad del mercado de trabajo académico en la Geografía Humana CríticaEn este ensayo se utiliza un vocabulario geográfico para describir el proceso de buscar y obtener empleo académico en la geografía humana crítica desde el inicio de la recesión mundial. El primer objetivo de este trabajo es documentar un momento de transformación en la historia de la geografía mediante la narración de historias de la búsqueda de empleo. El segundo objetivo del trabajo es esquematizar la liminalidad, la precariedad, y las contradicciones de la búsqueda de trabajo contemporáneo. El objetivo final es reflexionar sobre cómo la búsqueda de trabajo académico afecta nuestro enfoque hacia y la relación con la geografía como disciplina.
