Map, Territorial Terms, and Commonsensical Geography : The 'Names of Lands'
On the basis of Lucien Gallois' Régions naturelles et noms de pays... (1908) and of the initial results of a survey, the author, a sociologist, argues that :
- Gallois' work, ignored by sociologists and seldom quoted by geographers, has not been read by the former and has been too quickly by the latter ;
- the careful reader will discover not only a criticism of the regionalizations constructed by geographers but also the elements of a theory of "territorial membership" and of a "spontaneous", collective geographical consciousness (with its mistaken ideas, lability and truth) ;
- "old-fashioned" historical geography is not very different from political geography or even modern geopolitics ;
- Gallois, Vidal de la Blache's disciple and colleague, is doser to Reclus (a student of Ritter) and Ratzel than is supposed. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
