Encountering Indigeneity: Re-imagining and Decolonizing Geography
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an era of postcolonialism and postcolonization, Indigenous struggles continue. Within 'settler societies' issues of dispossession particularly of lands remain largely unresolved. As part of the discipline of geography's active movement away from its colonizing project, this introduction to this special edition of Geografiska Annaler B seeks to (re)focus a disciplinary lens, and (re)open a dialogue and potential research trajectory about 'indigenous geographies'. As the papers in this special issue demonstrate, new cultural geographies have begun a process of re-engagement with issues of indigeniety through careful, sensitive, inclusive, representative and emancipatory research projects.

To date, we have successfully deployed notions of Indigeneity, via the strategic essentialism of pan-Abo...
متن کاملEffect of mupirocin treatment on nasal, pharyngeal, and perineal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in healthy adults.
Nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus is an important risk factor for S. aureus infections. Mupirocin nasal ointment is presently the treatment of choice for decolonizing the anterior nares. However, recent clinical trials show limited benefit from mupirocin prophylaxis in preventing nosocomial S. aureus infections, probably due to (re)colonization from extranasal carriage sites. Therefore, w...
