Forward-thinking economists and geographers increasingly recognize the value of poststructural approaches to their respective disciplines. Systematically applying a postmodern sensibility to economic geography, Trevor J. Barnes integrates a comprehensive review of economic geography's recent past with innovative work in philosophy and the sociology of science. In so doing, he clarifies key poststructuralist ideas and demonstrates their relevance to the field. The volume draws upon the work of a number of poststructuralist writers, including Derrida and Rorty, as well as that of influential economists such as McCloskey, Mirowski, Resnick, and Wolff, and is enriched by the author's use of case studies linking together historical context, biography, and theory. In its critique of the rationalism and essentialism that characterize prevailing models, and its exploration of alternative conceptualizations, Logics of Dislocation offers both a novel reconstruction of economic geography's past and a basis for a reconceived future.
