Geography Meets Gendlin

Abstract

This chapter describes the development and convergence of research methods in geography. It details Banfield’s own research design, explores the growth in the use of video- and practice-based methods—in which researchers actively participate in the practice that they are researching—and psychologically informed methods—which use psychotherapeutic techniques for non-clinical purposes. Banfield proposes that these developments reflect an increasing interest across the social sciences in pre-reflective and embodied experience, consistent with the rise of non-representational thinking, even if it is not explicitly informed by such thinking. The chapter describes geographical research into artistic spatial experiences through which Eugene Gendlin’s potential contribution to geography is explored.
