Abstract

Western Marxist geographers play an important role in contemporary Western human geography. They have applied Marxist methods of analysis and theoretical paradigms to reinterpret and reinterpret the political, economic, social and cultural issues involved in traditional geography. At the same time, they also criticised the traditional spatial analysis of geography and put forward the idea of reinterpreting and redefining the concept of ‘space’. Representatives of this school include scholars such as Lefebvre, Harvey and Suja. Their reconstruction of the concept of space reveals that we should pay more attention to the theoretical study of spatial issues, and re-recognise the theoretical significance of traditional Marxism in guiding contemporary issues.
