Öresundsregion - bli till! : De geografiska visionernas diskursiva rytm

This thesis is about how geographical visions worked as discursive tools in the institutionalisation of the Öresund Region. The geographical vision is defined as a cognitive set of imagined and material pictures of the future structured as a spatial whole. The geographical vision is, in addition to this, a spaceconfiguration-, power-, and disciplinary - instrument, and, the product of a discursive process of struggle/negotiation over competing understandings of how a specific territorial timespace should be shaped in the future. Three geographical visions in the discourse of the Öresund Region are deconstructed and critically discussed, presented as storylines: -The r/evolution of regional organisms -The "high-speed" region -The social integration over the Sound, or, the political disciplinary project
