Towards a Geography of Knowledge Creation: Contributions from the Practice View

Abstract

This paper juxtaposes two strategies to conceive human expertise and unveils how they mould our imaginations on the spatiality of innovation processes. While the noun ‘knowledge' signifies a rationalistic approach and entails a geography that propels an ‘argument of agglomeration', the verb ‘knowing' denotes a situated-in-practice understanding and inheres an ‘argument of place'. The paper discusses in how far an extension of the so far less influential practice view might complement the more traditional agglomeration accounts. The ontological discrepancies between both approaches can be used as theoretical springboards to more fully illuminate some key ambivalences of a geography of knowledge creation.
