Abstract

DELGADO ROZO, Juan David. Between materiality and representation: reflections on the concept of landscape in historical geography. Cuad. Geogr. Rev. Colomb. Geogr. [online]. 2010, n.19, pp.77-86. ISSN 0121-215X.

This article aims to provide an overview on the concept of landscape from the perspective of historical geography, based on some works of Anglo-American historical and cultural geographers over the last 30 years. It shows the transformations of this concept within historical geography, which in turn is no longer a marginal branch of human geography and has become a diverse and dynamic field of study. Although the study of historical geography in Latin America is not addressed, it asserts that important elements from the Anglo-American academic environment can be drawn in order to build proper historical geographies for these latitudes.

Keywords : Berkeley School; historical geography; ideology; landscape; quantitative revolution.
