title: Hettner-Lecture 2000 creator: Agnew, John subject: ddc-550 subject: 550 Earth sciences description: John Agnew is one of the most prominent figures in political geography. He has contributed widely to debates about the political economy of the state, the nature of the international, and theories of geopolitics. Within international political economy, John Agnew has worked on theories of development, geographies of the world economy, and regions of the United States in the world economy. He has longstanding research interests in the changing regional and urban geographies of Italy and in the relationship between human geography and sociology. The first of John Agnew's Hettner Lectures 2000 explores the origins and logic of precise national boundary delimitation in Europe. It is argued that from 1600 onwards national boundaries were necessary to define who was to be Europe's dominant agent on a world scale, and that the process of delineating rigid national boundaries still shapes current debates on Europeanness and the characteristics of statehood. In his second lecture, John Agnew provides a discussion of the philosophical perspectives on which the two main positions on the 'nature' of the international in contemporary political geography rely. He suggests an historical approach to geopolitics that endeavours to explicitly recognise the joint effects of geographical representations and the spatial distribution of material conditions on political practices. date: 2009 type: Video type: info:eu-repo/semantics/MovingImage type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00009316 identifier: https://heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/detail/1370129 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-93164 identifier: Agnew, John (2009) Hettner-Lecture 2000.

His writing focuses on contextual histories of the sciences and the relationship between science and religion. During the Hettner Lectures 2001 Livingstone developed further his geographical approach to science studies. In "Knowledge, Space and the Geographies of Science," David Livingstone explores how different historical spaces of knowledge production and consumption contribute to the shaping of scientific knowledge claims. He argues that both scientific practice and the interpretation of scientific theories can best be characterised as located performances. Livingstone’s second lecture traces geographical imaginations of the tropics in the Western world. He reconstructs the processes by which European philosophers, travel writers, medical doctors, artists and cartographers shaped the "exotic" character of the concept "tropics". In an inherently hermeneutic encounter, they helped to establish a feeling of superiority over nature and other civilisations. By taking up basic ideas of Hans-Georg Gadamer on hermeneutics, Livingstone contextualises his second Hettner Lecture in Heidelberg. date: 2001 type: Video type: info:eu-repo/semantics/MovingImage type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00009315 identifier: https://heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/detail/1370132 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-93158 identifier: Livingstone, David (2001) Hettner-Lecture 2001.

Focusing on peasant societies and agrarian change, his research and fieldwork has centred on Africa and southern India and has been marked by a profound awareness of global processes and debates in social and cultural theory. In the first of the 1999 Hettner Lectures, Michael Watts explores how strug-gles over geography, misuse of political power, redistribution of eco-nomic resources and state violence against minorities are intertwined. He refers to case studies in Nigeria to show how local religious and ethnic movements challenged the character of Nigeria as a nation. In his sec-ond lecture he discusses different concepts of development, critically reflecting upon various theoretical debates in the 19th and 20th centuries. date: 1999 type: Video type: info:eu-repo/semantics/MovingImage type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00009314 identifier: https://heidicon.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/detail/1370135 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-93144 identifier: Watts, Michael (1999) Hettner-Lecture 1999.
