“…Content analysis as a method has been an important part of geographical research for many years, whether via quantitative measures of keyword counts and article lengths or qualitative analyses of discourses employed. Content analysis has been used to explore the discipline of geography itself in terms of the content and emphasis of journal articles (Wheeler 2001; Jackson et al . 2006).…”

This article proposes the use of content clouds as a method of exploratory qualitative data analysis. Content clouds are a type of visualisation that summarises the contents of a document by depicting the words that appear most often in larger, darker type within the cloud. When utilised as a form of qualitative GIS, content clouds provide a powerful way to summarise and compare information from different places on a single issue. Two examples using different types of documents and differently-scaled environmental issues demonstrate the possible utility of this method in summarising qualitative data and suggesting avenues for research.

“…This approach also enhanced awareness of the conditions under which selected documents were produced (Neuendorf, 2002;Fairclough, 2003). Geographers in particular have used variants of qualitative content analysis in order to investigate how institutions and individuals interact with their surrounding environments (Dittmer, 2005;Jackson et al, 2006;Brooks and Waters, 2014).…”

“…As I reflected -not least with my colleagues at the Bristol Spatial Modelling Research Group's Thursday lunchtime meetings -I realized that intense political processes were often involved, as part of the tactics used by both those promoting a changed orientation to the discipline and those contesting their positions. 6 These ideas were worked up into a seminar -much inspired by Trevor Barnes ' (2003; 2004a) adaptation of Latour's (1999) ideas on disciplinary change, and confirmed by a similar argument by two sociologists (Frickel and Gross, 2005) -and have recently been published (Johnston, 2006). There is much more to be done, not least in addressing the issue of scale.…”

knowledge. In re-reading Geography and geographers, I was struck by the extent to which the sections on the scientific and spatial turns, and also on the behavioral innovations, drew on US references, whereas that on systems theory cited British geographers (and, indeed, joint publication by human and physical geographers). In later editions, citations to feminist geography are mostly to British authors, emphasizing their theoretical and socialist approaches. My sense of the early US feminist geography is that it generally employed liberal perspectives and positivist empiricism. 2 In conclusion then, I have a new challenge for Ron Johnston whose career belies the book's comments on diminishing productivity as geographers become more senior. Beyond identifying the influences of liberal democratic societal settings in shaping a common 'Anglo-American' geography, will he take up a project that offers a contextual interpretation of differences between the Anglo and the American?
