Mapping politics: how context counts in electoral geography

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This paper takes issue with conventional mapping and locality-effect accounts of context on the ground that each involves a radical ontological separation of space and society that cannot be sustained. A concept of context-as-place is elaborated which abandons the identification of context with a single geographical scale and provides a way of bridging the gap between abstract sociological and concrete geographical analysis. The Italian electoral geography is explored over the period 1947-94. This paper is followed by three responses (pp. 147-164).
