No. 2 (2015): Cartographies of the Present. A Critique of Spatial Reason
Edited by Carlo Galli
Movement involves the production of spaces. The fact that spaces are constructed does not mean that the substance of plains, seas, mountains, rivers and forests is irrelevant: rather, the process of hominization originates precisely from the very restrictions imposed by such materiality. The role of human sciences consists therefore in conceptualising the interweaving of these physical boundaries ‒ what we may call the “givenness” of the geographical element ‒ and the collective and individual practices of production of meaning, that contribute to making these spaces the material a priori of history.
