一个学科的不断变化的议程包括引入新的实践，挑战那些已经部署的，并可能至少部分取代它们。人文地理学的历史学家已经确定了近几十年来的几个重大变化，但在解释这些变化方面却不太成功。本文采用了一个新近形成的学科变化模型，其中增加了缺失的政治因素。它认为，动员学生和其他新进入学科的人支持新议程的重要性，教科书可以发挥重要作用。几个最近出版的文本进行了分析，以说明其作为政治工具，试图促进特定的愿景的人文地理实践。
A discipline's changing agenda involves the introduction of new practices which challenge those already deployed and may at least partly replace them. Historians of human geography have identified several major changes over recent decades but have been less successful in accounting for them. This paper adopts a recently-formulated model of disciplinary change, to which it adds a missing political element. It argues for the importance of mobilizing support for a new agenda among students and other new entrants to the discipline, in which textbooks can play a substantial role. Several recently-published texts are analysed to illustrate their use as political tools in attempts to promote particular visions of human geographical practices.
