Description:
Godlewska (geography, Queen's University, Canada) examines the nature of the decline and dormancy of geography in France that began at the end of the 18th century, and investigates the survival of the weakened field through a momentum more structural and circumstantial than substantive. Adopting a biographical approach, she explores how the crisis influenced the ideas, writings, and careers of French innovators in human, physical, and historical geography.
