Abstract

In their production and their role in academic life, textbooks lie at the intersection of a number of ‘regimes of visibility’ (and invisibility). In this contribution I reflect on my own experience of textbook authorship to highlight some of these regimes: firstly, the processes through which textbooks are published; secondly, the mechanisms of monitoring and measuring of academic production; thirdly, disciplinary hierarchies of reputation and influence; and fourthly, considering the textbook as a technology of visibility itself. Through all of these, what is left invisible is the knowing, learning author. I highlight some of the implications of this invisibility for geography.
