“A VOLTA DO CULTURAL” NA GEOGRAFIA
Abstract
O artigo analisa as mudanças recentes ocorridas na Geografia Cultural, que conduziram a uma “volta do cultural” na Geografaia. Após uma breve apresentação das novas bases da epistemologia científica, o autor descreve os novos rumos das relações homens/meio ambiente, trata da abordagem regional a partir do interesse da Geografia Cultural pelos lugares, enfoca as relações sociais na abordagem cultural, especialmente o papel da comunicação. A análise assim desenvolvida conduz a concluir que a abordagem cultural demonstra interesse crescente pelos problemas morais do mundo atual, pelas Geografias Vernaculares e pelas Etnogeografias.
RÉSUMÉ
L’article analyse les changements récemment intervenus dans le domaine de la géographie culturelle, et qui ont conduit à un véritable “tournant culturel” de l’ensemble de la géographie. Après une courte présentation des nouvelles bases de l’épistémologie scientifique, l’auteur décrit les orientations prises récemment par les relations hommes/ilieu; il traite de l’approche régionale en soulignant l’attention que la géographie culturelle accorde aux lieux; il met l’accent le rôle des relations sociales dans l’approche culturelle; il insiste plus particulièrement sur le rôle de la communication. L’analyse ainsi développée conduit à la conclusion que l’approche culturelle montre un intérêt grandissant pour les problèmes moraux du monde actuel, pour les géographies vernaculaires et pour les ethnogéographies.
