“Dépoussiérer” des techniques anciennes pour stimuler l’observation sensorielle dans la pratique du terrain

Geographers are yet to theorize much about the politics and practices of fieldwork.

description Geographers are yet to theorize much about the politics and practices of fieldwork. Nevertheless, recent publications have shown that this practice could still constitute a judicious approach in geography as long as it was exposed to new epistemological thoughts in social science. These new considerations seem, however, to differentiate themselves from the accumulated experiences and contributions in the field by some modern geographers. This paper considers that, among the professional practice of the aforementioned authors, some techniques used to manage direct or sensory observation should be revised with the aim of underlining their educational role. It exposes how the author explored the history and recent practice of fieldwork to feed his own investigation constructed from two personal experiences in rural Southern Spain and in Western Argentina.
