I’m working on the written version of the Progress in Human Geography lecture I gave at the Royal Geographical Society/Institute of British Geographers annual conference in London last month. The opening section marvels at cultural geographers’ lack of engagement with anything digital.
The only references it currently contains are:

Given the long shadow that cultural geography casts across the discipline, of course it’s rather tricky to demarcate who is and who is not a ‘cultural geographer’ – and my list obviously and deliberately excludes the very rich literature on critical GIS, neo-geographies, participatory mapping and so on, as well as Rob Kitchin’s groundbreaking work.
But if any of you are aware of any other publications in cultural geography on digital technologies that are not related to mapping, please send them my way!
Sam Kinsley’s and James Ash’s work could be useful.
Yes it is! Thanks for suggesting it.
No problem. There is a phd student at RHUL doing work on digital technologies and augmentation of place. Nothing published yet but it could be worth picking his brain/reference list. He’s called mike Duggan.
Hi Gillian – see work on the digital by my colleague Sam Kinsley here at Exeter? Some in print, some still in process….
All best,
John
Thanks John, I know Sam’s work.
