210 Historical Geography and commercial districts, contrived outdoor museums, national historic landscapes, and festival marketplaces where derelict industrial structures are converted into venues for middle-class consumption. The consequential impacts of preservation practices on our human landscapes, economy, and society have attracted the attention of academics representing the disciplines of human geography, sociology, anthropology, history, architecture, urban design, and so on.

Considering that all history is a man-made history, this also to all human and cultural geographic topics. All geographies are man-made geographies. Certainly this and also "history-making" are not taking place under self-chosen circumstances and are often a non-intentional result of human action. But "geography-making" stands in a special relation to "history-making" and the actual understanding of the past. A constructivist perspective of the geographic reality or praxis centered and social-theoretically founded geography can offer some helpful knowledge.

This paper is about the strategic forgetting of the Humboldtian ‘compromise’. The analysis looks to the ways in which the concept of landscape entered geography as a device uniquely able to match the Romantic imaginary of the emergent European bourgeoisie and this latter’s need for a scientific (and a-political) theory of knowledge. Humboldt’s geographical idea of landscape was precisely the ‘compromise’ that would provide the bourgeoisie with a new spatial theory. What I claim in this paper, following Franco Farinelli’s critical rewriting of the history of European geography, is that the nature of Humboldt’s attempt has been essentially cancelled from canonical disciplinary accounts, for a number of historical-political reasons. This accounts for why, even today, despite the achievements of the new cultural geography and the influence of nonrepresentational theories, landscapes all too often continue to be read either as texts or, worse still, as ‘real’ spaces and/or built environm...
During this day and age, it is easy to be consumed with the mentality of what is happening in the present and what will happen in the future. In a society driven by technology and the potential it has for the human race, the past can be overlooked and its presence can seem unnecessary. Although a focus on the present and future is always on the minds of the masses, the general population does not typically understand why they are drawn to places with distinctly known histories or why the historic architecture of these places seems more appealing than that of contemporary architecture (Levi, 2005). In the present paper, the elements of historic preservation such as its processes, successes, benefits, and failures will be investigated. It is hypothesized that by understanding the influence of historic preservation with its ability to convey “sense of place” (connection to a place due to evoked emotions and feelings caused by memories and associations with the place) to communities, neighborhoods, campuses, and cities, the role and importance of historic places on the human experience will be revealed. This paper explains the preference the general public has for historic buildings, the benefits of historic places and their ability to convey sense of place, the disadvantages of historic preservation when design overlooked its users, the difficulties of implementing preservation strategies, and additional issues that are fundamental to the success of historic communities. The research reveals the important role historic architecture plays in the day-to- day life of humans especially in their personal experiences of an area. Connecting history and sense of place allows preservation to be significant to the people who experience it. This may be a difficult task that requires the present’s time, money, and energy, but providing a future that contains the preserved past and may be enjoyed by generations to come is worth the effort.

The entry begins with a definition of geography and with a description of what the discipline shares with the other social sciences and what makes it distinctive among them. Terminological clarifications are provided with regard to the relationship between human geography and physical geography, and between human geography and urban geography. After a brief history and overview of human geography’s engagement with social theory, the entry offers a discussion of the politicization of contemporary human geography and of how this phenomenon is reflected in theory building and concept development.

This graduate seminar explores some of the major theoretical trends in contemporary human geography. We will investigate key debates and concepts that inform current scholarship on social, cultural, political, and economic geographies using different lenses through which to understand geographical notions of space, place, and scale. The aims of the course are, therefore, threefold: (1) to provide a solid foundation and appreciation for the diversity of contemporary perspectives in human geography; (2) to examine major thematic areas of human geographical inquiry and debate; (3) to, above all, cultivate one’s own “geographical imagination” by critically assessing current geographical scholarship while also contributing to the literature with an original piece of geographical research. The format for class sessions will be based upon group discussions of the assigned readings, where students will have the opportunity to present to the class and facilitate at least one class discussion over the course of the semester.
