After underlining the impressive qualities of this book that make it an immensely rewarding reading for both experts and newcomers in the field of critical geography, the reading of David Harvey offered here deals in detail with three searching questions broached by CCC. How are we to comprehend Harvey’s incomparable contribution to geography and the consequent common sense in his discipline of not only his work but also Marxism? How could we make sense of Harvey’s original contribution to Marxism as a pioneer of radical geographical thought and his resultant reputation among the foremost Marxist critics of our time? How should we then assess the political significance of Harvey’s increasingly influential profile as a public intellectual beyond the confines of academic discourse? These and adjacent questions are addressed with close intellectual-biographical reference to Harvey’s own oeuvre, in order to highlight the most distinctive features of Harvey as a Marxist among other Marxists. Following a brief critique of the brief critique of Harvey penned by CCC, the essay concludes with the suggestion that the true potential of Harvey’s Marxism—his project to spatialise Marxism—lies in his revealingly unfinished and on-going appropriation of two indispensable and related philosophical concepts of Marxism: dialectics and totality.KEYWORDS: CapitalismMarxismgeographydialecticstotality","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135536891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digitalisation assumes a distinct character when looked at through a rural lens, reliable and accessible digital tools and infrastructure having marked implications for the future of rural communities. This was especially pertinent during COVID-19 lockdowns, when in rural (as well as urban) communities there was a push to host local activities and services online. Using reflections from both in-person and online research engagements with a crofting community in the North West Highlands of Scotland, this paper reflects on how the use of digital tools can support the development of different types of social capital. Successful rural digitalisation has the potential to benefit rural crofting communities in multiple ways: e.g. by supporting rural repopulation efforts, enabling access to new digital markets to sell produce, and supporting active participation in local decision-making through online meetings. Several barriers to realising digital benefits still exist in rural regions with specific digitalisation needs and challenges. The paper reflects on empirical findings and considers the future sustainability of rural crofting communities in the post-COVID, digital age.KEYWORDS: COVID-19crofting communitydigitalisationrural Scotlandsocial sapital AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank all of the participants who took part in our research engagements with specific thanks to the community in North West Highlands for their hospitality and willingness to take part in our research during COVID-19.

At the time of its publication, it was viewed by many as a text that revolutionized thinking in urban geography. Since then, it has been subjected to numerous reviews and critiques. Each time, its intellectual strength allowed it to maintain its place in the geography canon. This paper describes my encounters with Social Justice; how I read it in 1978 as an African American woman graduate student in geography; and how I read it now almost 50 years on. I argue that, while Social Justice of the City demonstrates Harvey’s command of an extensive body of literature, it falls short in several ways. First, in its relative silence on the role of capitalism and the capitalist agenda, it lacks the political assertiveness (aggression) that the times required. Second, it fails to acknowledge a socio spatial dialectic or the importance of sociological variables (race/ethnicity, gender, and intersectionality) in planning. Finally, as a theory, it fails to anticipate the intellectual advances in the US and geography. This paper offers a brief synthesis of the ideas in existing reviews but is primarily a personal reflection.","PeriodicalId":46022,"journal":{"name":"Scottish Geographical Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45018470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
