Öresundsregion - bli till! : De geografiska visionernas diskursiva rytm

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

This thesis is about how geographical visions worked as discursive tools in the institutionalisation of the Öresund Region.



The geographical vision is defined as a cognitive set of imagined and material pictures of the future structured as a spatial whole. The geographical vision is, in addition to this, a spaceconfiguration-, power-, and disciplinary - instrument, and, the product of a discursive process of struggle/negotiation over competing understandings of how a specific territorial timespace should be shaped in the future. Three geographical visions in the discourse of the Öresund Region are deconstructed and critically discussed, presented as storylines:



-The r/evolution of regional organisms



-The "high-speed" region



-The social integration over the Sound, or, the political disciplinary project
