Authors:
- Investigates whether discourses of poverty are geographically located and whether these locations actually refer to the most statistically-deprived areas
- Introduces a new methodological approach, Geographical Text Analysis, that combines techniques from corpus linguistics, critical discourse analysis, Geographical Information Science, and the spatial humanities
- Demonstrates that critical discourse analysis can be expanded beyond qualitative analysis and can benefit from an awareness of geography
- Taking poverty as a case study, it challenges the notion that Geographical Information Science is restricted to quantitative data
