Session Title: Bound by Craft: Material Culture and Bordering within Histories of Geography

Session Convenors: Peter R. Martin (University of Cambridge); André Reyes Novaes
(Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro)

Sponsorship: History and Philosophy of Geography Research Group (HPGRG)
Session Abstract:

Practices of bordering, delineation and delimitation have been key aspects of the geographer’s trade throughout the discipline’s long history. Many of the subject’s practitioners have sought to apply various criteria in attempts to draw lines of similarity or difference around peoples and places.
One important, although hitherto under-researched, method of geographical border-making is the analysis of material culture. While in some cases deploying techniques more commonly associated with anthropology or archaeology, geographers have sought to establish their own methodological frameworks for investigating and comparing the materials and artefacts produced by those whom they have sought to understand.
As investigating the problematic, colonial, racialised legacies of the geographical discipline
becomes ever more vital, this session provides a forum for research that examines the ways in which geographers have historically used material culture as a means to draw borders and boundaries around, between and across different peoples and places. It will question at what point such borders were created (whether in the field or in the study/archive/museum) and will consider the extent to which the study of objects established power hierarchies between the researcher(s) and the researched. In doing so, it seeks to further recent calls for objects to be taken seriously as a means through which alternative histories of the geographical discipline may be traced, and will explore the extent to which such methodologies offer new methods for the decolonisation of geographical knowledge.
The session therefore encourages papers focussed on any region or time period and
welcomes papers that consider such topics as:

• Material culture, borders and indigeneity
• Racial theory and material culture
• Histories and practices of colonial collecting
• Theorising material culture beyond Euro-America
• Decolonisation of objects/objects of decolonisation
• Geographical study of museum collections
• Instruments and practices of delimitation
• Objects and the geographical imagination

Please email a paper title and 250 word abstract, along with your name and affiliation, to either prm49@cam.ac.uk or andrereyesnovaes@gmail.com by 5th March 2021.
