Here, there, everywhere

Abstract

The dominant discourses of Anglo-American economic geography universalised certain particulars in ways that rendered as archetypal some things that were perhaps better treated as marginal, or at least locally specific. Simultaneously, those dominant discourses rendered as marginal, unimportant or absent, things that are central to economic geographies in a range of places. This commentary reflects on key elements of the foundations for a distinctive Antipodean contribution to wider debates in human geography and the value of such debate to other marginalised discourses in the discipline.
