Abstract

Geography beyond the cultural turn is inclined to understand regions merely as social or discursive constructs. Notwithstanding "regional specialisation" and "intimate regional knowledge", at least traditionally, play an important role in geography. Regional descriptors are still used to frame research questions and regional knowledge is considered to facilitate access to empirical data. Part of a current renaissance of area studies is a debate on a more procedural concept of regions beyond static (and often Eurocentric) denominators. However, this debate is still sparsely connected with regional geography and recent theoretical debates in social and cultural geography. This introduction and the three contributions of this special issue offer some impulses for such exchanges.
