| description | Cultural geography was, from the start, a fundamental component of human geography : trying to evaluate the influence of environment on human destiny, it focused on ways of life, but seized them only through their material dimensions ; as a result, its scope remained limited. A first orientation of research developed in this way from Vidal de la Blache to Braudel through Brunhes, Deffontaines, Gourou and de Planhol. Starting in the early seventies, the cultural turn conceived culture as the DNA of social life, analyzed the influence of modes of communication and memorization on its forms, studied the imaginaries it gave birth to - those more peculiarly that gave it a normative dimension - and stressed the social mechanisms it created. It reshaped the whole discipline and explained the problems of our world. |
