Abstract
This article is unapologetically polemical. As a busy academic who tries to keep up with developments in social theory I feel the need to make a brief, but impassioned plea for "Time Out". Over the past decade or so human geographers have been subjected to a dazzling array of theoretical frameworks drawn largely from outside the discipline. This rapid turnover is in part a cause and effect of a wider malaise centring on the commodification of knowledge. It must be stressed at the outset that I am not demeaning the process of critical self-examination, theoretical endeavour and political action, but I am concerned with the rapidity with which ideas are superseded.
