Baton Rouge—A Neopragmatic Regional Geographic Approach
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- The approach of “neopragmatic landscape research” is operationalized and examined for its viability;
- (2)
- The main developmental strands, incidents and supra-local influences on Baton Rouge are presented and interpreted;
- (3)
- The media representation of Baton Rouge focuses on the Internet—as a developing compartment of regional geography, in order to capture elements of its image and self-description;
- (4)
- Everyday life in Baton Rouge is examined in its meaning and attribution of meaning.
- (1)
- A diverse economic, social, and territorial history, “having flown under ten flags” [38], “the flags of France, England, Spain, the independent republic of West Florida, the United States, and the Confederate States of America were flown over it, some of them more than once” [39]. This history continues in Baton Rouge today, in both the physical realm and in regional social self-description;
- (2)
- A “manageable” size, approximately 230,000 inhabitants with the metropolitan region over 500,000 inhabitants, allowing one’s investigations on the different dimensions to be carried out without the need for a research stay of several years;
- (3)
- (4)
- The only systematic regional geographic survey was carried out by a German geographer during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The results were published in German only, relatively unavailable to the American public [43]. These investigations, although implicitly following an essentialist-naive-realism paradigm that is hardly practicable currently, produced a great deal of empirical material useful for comparisons today, under a neopragmatic framework.
- (1)
- Data triangulation. Data are combined from different sources, whether from official statistics, planning documents, scientific literature, but especially our own survey. In this last point, we go well beyond what regional geographies usually do [50,51]; here, the preoccupation is with data that were not collected specifically for this synthetic consideration.
- (2)
- Method triangulation. Here we use different methods of generating data and analyzing them. This ranges from methods of applied climatology to the quantitative and cartographic recording of land-uses and conducting and analyzing qualitative interviews to qualitative and quantitative media content analysis.
- (3)
- Researcher triangulation. This refers to joint research in a researcher tandem with different disciplinary backgrounds (geography/sociology and political science) as well as constant exchange with researchers and students in the field.
- (4)
- Theory triangulation. This is the essential aspect of the “neopragmatic” approach, as it additionally combines different basic theoretical positions where they offer high explanatory value for the complex spatial phenomena, such as a positivist perspective in the theoretical framing of the distribution of land-uses, a theoretical discourse one in relation to media representations of Baton Rouge.
2. The Neopragmatic Approach to Regional Geography
3. The Methodological Operationalization of the Neopragmatic Approach to the Study of Baton Rouge
4. Historical Aspects of Regional Development
- (1)
- The especially large areas used by industry and public administration;
- (2)
- The central business district is comparatively small in area and functional importance;
- (3)
- The low level of transportation infrastructure resulted in a comparatively polycentric development structure. This development structure is oriented towards the major employers of the “tripole”;
- (4)
- The rapid city growth in the first decades, especially in the mid-20th century (Figure 5), was driven mainly by investors. The influence of minimal spatial planning resulted in a particularly heterogeneous structure of land-use.
5. The Construction of Baton Rouge in Media and by Residents
