Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses a binary discourse of ‘theory’ and ‘empirical investigation’ in the human geography practised in Aotearoa (New Zealand)[1]. I attempt to illustrate the way in which such dichotomous thinking articulates with the social construction of a hegemonic masculinity to effect a specific geographic understanding of the world. I suggest that this theory/empirical investigation binary gives rise to at least three significant problems in geographic research: a gendered and hierarchical structuring of geographic thought, a devaluation of the feminised term in the binary, and unworkable ‘mobile positioning’ of the researcher.

新西兰奥特罗阿人文地理学中的男性气质、地域和“理论”与“实证调查”二元话语

摘要本文探讨了新西兰奥特罗阿(Aotearoa)人文地理学实践中的“理论”与“实证”二元话语[1]。我试图说明这种二分法思维是如何与霸权男性气概的社会建构相结合，从而影响对世界的特定地理理解的。我认为，这种理论/实证调查的二元性在地理研究中至少引起了三个重大问题:地理思想的性别化和等级结构，二元性中女性化术语的贬值，以及研究者不可行的“移动定位”。

期刊介绍： The aim of Gender, Place and Culture is to provide a forum for debate in human geography and related disciplines on theoretically-informed research concerned with gender issues. It also seeks to highlight the significance of such research for feminism and women"s studies. The editors seek articles based on primary research that address: the particularities and intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, age, (dis)ability, sexuality, class, culture and place; feminist, anti-racist, critical and radical geographies of space, place, nature and the environment; feminist geographies of difference, resistance, marginality and/or spatial negotiation; and, critical methodology.
