Abstract

This article identifies two major problems within emerging formulations of ‘post-phenomenology’ in geography: its approach to the subject and its limited analytical engagement with concepts of social difference. I review these problems at length before putting post-phenomenology into conversation with another contemporary strand of phenomenological thought, critical phenomenology, which has responded to similar problems in classical phenomenology while retaining a focus on subjectivity and social difference. Ultimately, I recommend that post-phenomenologists learn from critical phenomenology and bring its insights together with developments in contemporary human geography in order to address these shortcomings in its theoretical foundations.
