ABSTRACT Some recent books have renewed the history of geography, in particular in France. They precise the role of some of pioneers of geography like Varenius (Lukermann, in Buttimer et al., 1999) and stress the insthtutionalization of the discipline (Dunbar, 2001). Progress in mapping was responsible, at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, for a break which induced a new way to conceive geography (Godlewska, 1999). The geography which was structured at that time took advantage of the progress of thematic cartographic, either geological (Winchester, 2001) or thematic (Palsky, 1997). The geographers of the French school put a special emphasis on glance and the observation of landscape (Robic etal., 1993; Robic, 2000), fieldwork and laboratoty techniques (Baudelle etal, 2001). The evolution of Japanese geography was in many respects similar to the Western one (Takeuchi, 2000). Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
