Ensaios de Geografia Cultural

Cultural Geography has emerged as one of the major and contested subdomains of Human Geography, generating a significant renewal of theoretical and methodological approaches within the discipline. This book examines the spatial structuring of cultural practices, interrogating the dimensions through which space, place, and landscape are constituted and contested. Foregrounding the 'trialetic' character of spatial structuring, theorising space as production, place as experience, practice, and resistance, and landscape as representation, this book argues that the differentiated practices through which place is produced give rise to diverse and competing landscape representations. In doing so, it contributes to ongoing theoretical debates within Cultural Geography concerning the relational and politically charged nature of spatial practice, and advances a framework for understanding how distinct modalities of space interact in the reproduction of cultural meaning.
