Non-representative theory

A non-representative theory is a direction in socio-economic geography presented in the works of Nigel Thrift, JD Dewsbury and others. A non-representative theory uses social teaching to overcome the simple presentation of geographical research. Dewsbury describes the practice of "eyewitness" giving the opportunity to obtain "knowledge without contemplation." A non-representative theory focuses on the practices themselves, and not on the results of these practices, on how human and physical formations behave, and not just what results they achieve in doing so. The methodological and conceptual basis of a non-representative theory is the research of Michel Foucault , Maurice Merlot-Ponti , phenomenologists and, in particular, Martin Heidegger .
