“…Therefore, it may well be that the co-existence and simultaneity of diverse (and even divergent) systems and practices become an enduring reality, even though their relationships are likely to be ßexible and changeable, and perhaps as much symbolic as substantive. This condition exempliÞes the essence of postmodernity as understood by analysts working in the North (Dear, 1988;Folch-Serra, 1989;Harvey, 1989;Featherstone, 1991Featherstone, , 1995Soja, 1991;Bauman, 1992;Berg, 1993;Watson and Gibson, 1995), in terms of which the monolithic modernist discourses, both liberal and Marxist, have been or are being discarded in favour of a multiplicity of ideologies and modes of explanation. 9 In terms of the schema discussed above, this represents the notion of the postmodern as problematic, overlain with a distinct element of the postmodern as epoch, albeit without a clear break from the modern and, indeed, characterized by the co-existence of and overlap between the two.…”

This paper offers broad and critical perspectives on current development thinking. A brief summary of different meanings of development and a thumbnail sketch of broad trends over the past twenty to thirty years in relation to major development indicators is followed by a discussion of reasons for the emergence of fundamental critiques of conventional development and developmentalism from perspectives known variously as post-structuralist, post-development and anti-development. Connections are made between these and the literatures on postmodernism, postcolonialism and post-traditionalism. Finally, the implications of these rapid paradigm shifts and changing realities for future research, teaching and action across the South/North divide are considered.

“…Bioregionalism therefore appears appropriately as an active way of understanding and participating in self-organizing systems rather than as a form of knowledge about something. It is perhaps closer to phenomenological and humanist values than positivist ones (see Folch-Serra 1989, anddiscussion in Buttirner 1990). However, it is distinguished from conventional humanist thinking in that it does not accord any selfevident pre-eminence to the human species, and the patterns of normative values it pursues are not couched in primarily anthropocentric terms.…”

Bioregionalism and Regional Geography: Place, People, and Networks

‘Bioregionalism’ is a term referring to an action‐oriented movement based on ecological principles. It has not been strong in academic geography, though it clearly has space and place as its concerns. From a merging of classical regional geography and general systems one might have expected a bioregional synthesis to emerge. The bio‐regional ideal can be given rigorous expression in a regional system comprising three sub‐systems ‐ a biophysical sub‐system, an inhabiting sub‐system, and a network sub‐system. Le mot ‘biorégionalisme’ s'attache à un mouvement ?action et de pensée écologiste. Peu representé au sein de la géographie ‘officielle, ii a néanmoins des rapports avec le problématique de ľespace et des lieux. On aurait du attendre que la convergence de la géographie régionale classique et ľétude des systèmes nous ameneraient à un synthèse ‘biorégional.’Ľesprit biorégional peut s'exprimer ?une façon rigoureuse sous forme ?un système régional, comprenant trois sous‐systèmes ‐ sous‐système biophysique, sous‐système ?habitat, et sous‐système des liaisons et des réseaux.

“…Partimos do pressuposto que a expressão de imagens -quaisquer sejam os meios textuais e/ou pictóricos -são representações 2 , que podem se apresentar como manifestações materiais (como esculturas, dioramas) e imateriais (como narrativas). Percebendo a descrição da paisagem como ato representativo, nomes ligados à nova geografia cultural propuseram metáforas representacionais paisagísticas: texto (ROWNTREE, 1986;JACKSON, 1987;DUNCAN;DUNCAN, 1988;FOLCH-SERRA, 1989;COSGROVE, 1990a;NAME, 2010), biografia (MEREDITH, 1985), documento (SCAZZOSI, 2004) espetáculo (COSGROVE, 1990b;DANIELS, 1992;DEBORD, 1997), carnaval (COSGROVE, 1989) e teatro (COSGROVE, 1989;COSGROVE, 1990b). Já o sueco Torsten Hägerstrand (1982) sugere a palavra diorama como uma analogia importante para a representação da paisagem.…”

The article in question defends, throughan epistemological discussion, that the discursive intermediation is an interesting path to mitigate the incompleteness of the representations. It starts from the assumption that mind and matter are part of an inseparable interweaving, which justifies theimportance of reflection regarding representations. The starting point for understanding the incompleteness of representations is the consideration that they suppress a significant amount of temporal and spatial experience, reproducing images that are strengthened in the relationships of affection. It is also noteworthy that the intellectual often falls into a kind of paradoxical trap: in the act of deconstructing stereotypes within a given theme, there is a tendency to generalize and to elaborate typologies that stereotype the imaginative plurality. It is these discursive problems that the article seeks to address
