Henrik Gutzon Larsen – författare

Sedan några decennier finns en ny våg av intresse för olika former av kollektivboende, internationellt ofta kallade co-housing. De bygger, till skillnad från äldre kollektivhus, på boendes samverkan kring hushållsarbetet. Önskan om gemenskap har varit en drivkraft. De lyfts ofta fram som en ekologiskt och socialt hållbar boendeform. 

I Gemenskap och autonomi finns artiklar om utvecklingen av den nya boendeformen i Danmark och Sverige från 1970-talet, om nya former för att göra familj, om byggemenskaper och bogemenskaper i Hamburg och Göteborg samt en avslutande diskussion om kollektivboende som ett hållbart alternativ. Texterna kompletteras med Katarina Despotovics foton av boende i de två kollektivhusen Stacken och Trädet i Göteborg.

Bokens titel syftar på en inbyggd spänning mellan kollektivboendenas önskan om (inre) gemenskap och (yttre) autonomi och den hållbara utvecklingens krav på en bredare samhällsförändring. 

This book explores the multiple histories of critical geography as it developed in 14 different locations around the globe, whilst bringing together a range of approaches in critical geography.

It is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive account of a wide variety of historical geographies of critical geography from around the world. Accordingly, the chapters provide accounts of the development of critical approaches in geography from beyond the hegemonic Anglo-American metropoles. Bringing together geographers from a wide range of regional and intellectual milieus, this volume provides a critical overview that is international and illustrates the interactions (or lack thereof) between different critical geographers, working across a range of spaces. The chapters provide a more nuanced history of critical geography, suggesting that while there were sometimes strong connections with Anglo-American critical geography, there were also deeply independent developments that were part of the construction of very different kinds of critical geography in different parts of the world.

Placing Critical Geographies provides an excellent companion to existing histories of critical geography and will be important reading for researchers as well as undergraduate and graduate students of the history and philosophy of geography.
