单词 metageography
释义
metageography

Geography
  • The spatial framework on which we hang our knowledge; a framework we take for granted. We speak, for example, of Europe, but rarely ponder what that means. Do we define Europe by membership of the European Union? Or by entries to the Eurovision song contest? A metageographic community, is ‘a multiscaled network of like-minded individuals, institutions, and organizations where physical nearness is not essential for the expression or maintenance of collective identity. An MGC is metageographic because it exists only as the result of mediated interaction over distance; that is, it exists “above the map” in transmission that is not bound by the proximity of its members in localized physical space’ (Nashleanas (2011) AAAG 101, 3).
