RT Journal Article SR 00 A1 Elden, Stuart A1 Gregory, Derek A1 Sevilla Buitrago, Álvaro T1 Spaces of the Past, Histories of the Present: An Interview with Stuart Elden and Derek Gregory JF Acme: an International e-Journal For Critical Geographies YR 2011 FD 2011 VO 10 IS 2 SP 313 OP 339 AB The ontologies of space and territory, our experience of them and the techniques we use to govern them, the very conception of the socio-spatial formations that we inhabit, are all historically specific: they depend on a genealogy of practices, knowledges, discourses, regulations, performances and representations articulated in a way that is extremely complex yet nevertheless legible over time. In this interview we look at the logic and the patterns that intertwine space and time — both as objects and tools of inquiry — though a cross-disciplinary dialogue. The discussion with Stuart Elden and Derek Gregory covers the place of history in socio-spatial theory and in their own work, old and new ways of thinking about the intersection between history and territory, space and time, the implications of geography and history for thinking about contemporary politics, and the challenges now faced by critical thought and academic work in the current neo-liberal attack on public universities and the welfare state PB University of British Columbia, Okanagan SN 1429-9732 LK http://oa.upm.es/12068/ UL http://www.acme-journal.org/vol10/Eldenetal2011.pdf
