We need to challenge the hegemonic ‘common sense’ of market relations, of competitive individualism, of private gain, the denigration of ‘the public’, and much else besides
The existing economic vocabulary is one of the roots of the elite’s ability to maintain the straitjacket we are in, argues Doreen Massey. We need to challenge the current terms of debate and establish a new political terrain
Concepts of space and power in theory and in political practice
Aquest article introdueix unes conceptualitzacions específiques de l’espai i el poder i els relliga sota la idea de «geometries de poder». A continuació, el text explora el desenvolupament d’aquesta idea en el context de la revolució bolivariana a Veneçuela i reprèn el significat d’aquest compromís per a la pràctica política. Finalment, també es comenta breument com el mateix concepte ha estat enriquit per aquest ús polític actiu que se’n fa.This paper introduces particular conceptualisations of space and of power and brings them together in the idea of «power-geometries». It then explores the deployment of this concept in the context of the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela, reflecting back on the nature of this engagement in political practice. Finally, it reflects briefly on how the concept itself has been enriched by this active political usage.Este artículo introduce unas conceptualizaciones específicas de espacio y poder y las relaciona mediante la idea de «geometrías de poder».

Landscape as a provocation: reflections on moving mountains
This paper opens with a story of the mobility and varied temporalities of a particular landscape and uses this to reflect on a range of issues that revolve around the different kinds of 'grounding' that are appealed to in socio-cultural, political and academic life. It reflects upon the relations between human and natural sciences, the nature of appeals between them, and the important, but often questionable, place within this of particular political positions. It goes on to query the role of 'Nature' as a grounding to place and landscape and stresses the potentially differential effectivities of contrasting temporalities --- between, for example, the temporalities of the taskspace and the temporalities of tectonics. Nonetheless, the argument continues, there are indeed provocations from the moving rocks to the nature of scientific discourse and to debates within political philosophy. It concludes with a conceptualisation of both landscape and place as events

Regions, this extract suggests, cannot bring about regional inequality without significant national level action. The key, it is claimed, is a ‘national commitment to decentre the economy’. As well as re-examining some current regional policy – such as whether knowledge transfer needs to happen locally or how foreign investment might be better harnessed – this manifesto argues that national policy needs to be made far more sensitive to the regional agenda
