Abstract

This paper is a personal reflection on the role of culture in geography. It was already important in the first phases of human geography (classical geography and the New Geographyof the fifties), but the predominant functionalist approaches limited its expression. Thanks to the initiatives of different groups of geographers, the scope of the discipline was enlarged after 1970s: this transformation was characterized in the late 1990s as the cultural turn of the discipline. It was exemplified by the structurationnist and poststructuralist developments on one side, the cultural approach on the other. For me, the last one does not suffer from the same limitations than the formers.
