This paper highlights three areas of debate which have emerged out of geographers' engagement with and reading of post-modern discourse, giving specific attention to the way post-modernism has challenged geographies' interpretation of the geographic "object" and "method", First, it examines the claim that "the geography of post-modernism" spawns a "new" object of enquiry, the "description" of space In terms of heterotopias and social otherness. Second, it explores the question whether "post-modern geography" provides a new "interpretive" geography which celebrates the diversity of theoretical relativism and maintains the "creative tensions" between theories. In advocating the post modernization of geography, some geographers have argued for the reassertion of space in critical social theory and the pre-eminent role of geography. This forms the third focal point of the discussion. The conclusion argues that the post-modem-geographic project involves political questions regarding the decentring of entrenched academic interests and shifts in power relations within the geographical fraternity.
