 The Kearney and Gothenburg boom periods
In the spring of 1888 Gothenburg precinct voted $5000 in bonds to construct a canal, and the Gothenburg Canal Company, a local company, was organized.
In fact, the Gothenburg Water Power and Investment Company was starting to dominate the town of Gothenburg itself; and, if the Panic of 1893 had not put an end to the boom, Gothenburg was probably destined to have become a company town.
The most important similarity, therefore, between Kearney and Gothenburg was their geography and that they both took advantage of it to produce their boom periods.

 Wolfgang Zierhofer
Since, traditionally, geography is related to the notion of space in manifold ways, the meaning of space is reconstructed within the perspective of language pragmatics: Space is the set of all dimensions of distinctions that are applied in a certain situation.
In this sense, the science of human geography is a rationalization of the everyday perfor-mance of geography (or of the reproduction of space, as other geographers would say).
If human geography is regarded as a reflective social science in-between meaning and matter, the question arises about the conceptions of meaning, matter, and of the social sphere.
