Study Notes
Humboldt and Ritter
- Humboldt, a German geographer from the early 1800s, is considered a pioneer of modern geography. He travelled extensively, especially in the Americas, and tried to represent the world's geography in a rational way, documenting the customs of the people he encountered.
- His methodology involved breaking down elements, analyzing their interactions, understanding the territory as a whole, emphasizing tangible evidence for descriptions.
- Ritter had a different perspective compared to Humboldt. Ritter took a less rational, more traditional approach, focusing on understanding hidden realities. He believed geography is about recognizing, rather than discovering, pre-existing cultures embedded within the land.
Meaning of Culture
- The word "culture" comes from the Latin word "cultus" (cultivated). Originally, this referred to growing crops, but metaphorically stretched to describe spiritual and intellectual cultivation of the mind.
- By the 1700s, "culture" encompassed someone's intellectual and ethical qualities.
- In the Enlightenment, culture was seen as a demonstration of rational thinking.
- Ernst Kapp introduced the concept of cultural geography.
- Anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor defined culture as all the knowledge, habits, and customs of a society. This was the starting point for further development of the concept of culture in geography.
Deconstructionism
- Deconstructionism emerged in the 1980s as a reaction against earlier structuralist approaches.
- It challenges the idea of a fixed reality. Instead, it looks at how texts – including maps and descriptions – represent the world and explores hidden meanings and contradictions.
- Texts are seen as representations of reality, and not reality itself. Also, texts are interpreted through the lens of the current culture that produced them.
Structuralist, Semiotic, and Spiritualist Approaches
- Structuralist geography focuses on themes in culture. It identifies four key areas of geographic inquiry for cultural studies: distribution patterns of cultural elements; the relationship between culture and ecology; definition of cultural regions; and specialized cultural areas.
- Semiotic geography centers around the notion that culture is a system of signs and symbols that need to be understood to perceive the cultural meanings of space. This method interprets place through the analysis of symbols.
- Spiritualist thinking, rooted in philosophy, posits that human consciousness is central to understanding geography. It emphasizes the subjective and emotional aspects of place.
Urban Symbols, City and Symbolism
- Urban symbols offer a way to examine the meaning of cities.
- The examples of Brasilia and other symbolic cities (Jerusalem, Mecca). Each city represents different aspects of human culture and spirituality.
- Each city is imbued with meanings and symbols for people who live there.
Nature and Culture
- Traditional geography separated nature and culture, but cultural geography sees them as interconnected.
- A semiotic cultural geographical concept examines the symbols associated with nature (mountains, rivers), their cultural meaning, their historical and spiritual significance, etc.
Land and Culture
- The concept of landscape represents an embodiment of culture. The interplay of natural elements and human-induced components, as well as their cultural significance, shapes the perceived culture.
- An understanding of geographical culture would require looking not only at geography itself, but also the cultural meanings humans place upon it.
