ABSTRACT
This chapter argues not for a redefining of geography according to the latest philosophical or technological bandwagon but for its total rejection and de-definition. The fragments of social science as one now know them, history, economics, anthropology, geography and emerged as concomitants to the development of a new socio-economic system, capitalism. Ideology is a general concept which involves both material practices and the ideas intertwined with them. It is a system of representation of the world, but one which does not refer to the world as an object external to that system. 'Geography' exists at one level as an objective discourse within the ideological practices one now commonly identify as 'social science'. Marxism is a mode of analysis and explanation linked to a particular theory of the production of knowledge, science and theoretical practice.
