ABSTRACT

In its origins, the term ”geography7’ refers to the earth and to formal, socially-constructed knowledge of the material reality of the world - not to space and spatial relations. If we ask ”what's left to do” in the reconstruction of human geography, we ought not overlook this essential aspect of the geographical project. Yet, in the twenty years of development in radical geography, in this journal and elsewhere, the question of the material reality of what I will call ”social Nature” has received relatively little theoretical attention.
