Abstract

In this article we discuss the impacts of non-representational
theories on geographic thought. The presuppositions of this current are presented as an extension to the critique of (neo)positivist thought and, at the same time, they are reactive to criticism
regarding the supposed social sterility of phenomenology.
Appropriating a vocabulary that includes key concepts such as affect, performance, assemblages and affordances, non-representational theories consider the networks of relationships between human and non-human actors, which lead to the perspective of relative space. Distortions of space – seen as products of the relative position of individualities in the midst
of affective relationships - have a strong influence on the reading of landscape and place, which invites us to think geographically about heterodox bases of thought.
