Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography (2018)
Journal Article
Dymitrow, M., & Brauer, R. (2018). Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography. Geografiska annaler. Series B, Human geography, 100(3), 195-219. https://doi.org/10.1080/04353684.2017.1419071

The concepts ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ have long been criticized by geographers for their lack of analytical and explanatory power, yet have remained a vital source for conceptual guidance in human geography. Realizing that the continued use of questionabl... Read More about Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography.

Landscapes with different logics: A physicalistic approach to semantic conflicts in spatial planning (2017)
Journal Article
Krzysztofik, R., Dymitrow, M., Biegańska, J., Senetra, A., Gavriilidou, E., Nadolu, B., …Brauer, R. (2017). Landscapes with different logics: A physicalistic approach to semantic conflicts in spatial planning. Quaestiones Geographicae, 36(4), 29-45. https://doi.org/10.1515/quageo-2017-0034

This paper deals with the ways of categorising landscapes as ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ using a physicalist approach, where these terms have special meaning. The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the question whether such a division is still meaningful w...

Performing rurality. But who? (2017)
Journal Article
Dymitrow, M., & Brauer, R. (2017). Performing rurality. But who?. Bulletin of Geography. Socio-economic Series, 38(38), 27-45. https://doi.org/10.1515/bog-2017-0032

Reflective inquiries to better understand ‘the rural’ have tried to embed rural research within the notion of performativity. Performativity assumes that the capacity of language is not simply to communicate but also to consummate action, whereupon c... Read More about Performing rurality. But who?.
