| description |
In the last few years, a vibrant interdisciplinary and international literature is rediscovering those sectors of the geographical tradition whose exponents did not match the classical stereotype of the Western academic geographer directly or indirectly contributing to colonialism, warfare, and social conservatism. Ongoing research on primary sources has shown that early progressive, dissident, and unorthodox tendencies in the history of the discipline were more pervasive and influential than what has been believed. In this paper, I define this movement as the rediscovery of “Other Geographical Traditions” (OGTs) arguing that this notion can enlarge our understanding of geography as a plural and contested field. While a great deal of this literature is constituted by studies on early anarchist and critical geographies, I argue that this concept should be extended to scholarly production from the Global South in languages other than English, which is likewise providing important contributions to the discovery of different geographical traditions, politically and culturally. For that, I address the case of recent Latin American scholarship, in Spanish and Portuguese, on the history and philosophy of critical geographies. Moreover, the fact that these “Southern” scholars are rereading and translating classical figures of “Northern” geographers constitutes a reversal of the former colonial gaze from the North–South to the South–North direction. This suggests that the study of OGTs should also consider different cultural and linguistic traditions, challenging monolingualism in both literature reviews and sources’ selection. |

I28-R145-14261_oai2025-11-17 Ferretti, Federico Lus Bietti, Gonzalo Ezequiel Farías , Mónica 2024-06-30 In the last few years, a vibrant interdisciplinary and international literature is rediscovering those sectors of the geographical tradition whose exponents did not match the classical stereotype of the Western academic geographer directly or indirectly contributing to colonialism, warfare, and social conservatism. Ongoing research on primary sources has shown that early progressive, dissident, and unorthodox tendencies in the history of the discipline were more pervasive and influential than what has been believed. In this paper, I define this movement as the rediscovery of “Other Geographical Traditions” (OGTs) arguing that this notion can enlarge our understanding of geography as a plural and contested field. While a great deal of this literature is constituted by studies on early anarchist and critical geographies, I argue that this concept should be extended to scholarly production from the Global South in languages other than English, which is likewise providing important contributions to the discovery of different geographical traditions, politically and culturally. For that, I address the case of recent Latin American scholarship, in Spanish and Portuguese, on the history and philosophy of critical geographies. Moreover, the fact that these “Southern” scholars are rereading and translating classical figures of “Northern” geographers constitutes a reversal of the former colonial gaze from the North–South to the South–North direction. This suggests that the study of OGTs should also consider different cultural and linguistic traditions, challenging monolingualism in both literature reviews and sources’ selection. En los últimos años, una vibrante literatura interdisciplinaria e internacional ha venido redescubriendo áreas de la tradición geográfica cuyos exponentes no coincidían con el estereotipo clásico, racista y patriarcal del geógrafo, como hombre blanco académico occidental que directa o indirectamente contribuía al colonialismo, la guerra y el conservadurismo social. Investigaciones de fuentes primarias, actualmente en curso, han demostrado que las primeras tendencias progresistas, disidentes y poco ortodoxas en la historia de la disciplina fueron más penetrantes e influyentes de lo que se creía. En este artículo, defino a este movimiento como el redescubrimiento de “Otras Tradiciones Geográficas” (OTG) y propongo que esta noción puede permitir ampliar nuestra comprensión de la geografía como un campo plural y disputado. Si bien gran parte de esta literatura comprende estudios sobre las tempranas geografías anarquistas y críticas, sostengo que este concepto debe extenderse a la producción académica del Sur Global en idiomas diferentes al inglés; producción que también contribuye mucho al descubrimiento de diferentes tradiciones geográficas, tanto política como culturalmente. Para ello, abordo estudios recientes latinoamericanos, en español y portugués, sobre la historia y la filosofía de las geografías críticas. Además, el hecho de que estudiosxs “del Sur” estén releyendo y traduciendo figuras clásicas de geógrafxs “del Norte” constituye una inversión de la antigua mirada colonial Norte-Sur a la Sur-Norte. Esto sugiere que el estudio de las OTG también debería considerar diferentes tradiciones culturales y lingüísticas desafiando, así, el monolingüismo tanto en las revisiones de literatura como en la selección de fuentes. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/14261 10.34096/ps.n10.14261 spa Instituto de Geografía "Romualdo Ardissone", UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/14261/12991 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/RPS/article/view/14261/13095 Derechos de autor 2024 Federico Ferretti; Gonzalo Ezequiel Lus Bietti, Mónica Farías Punto Sur; No. 10 (2024): Circulación, viajes y redes del pensamiento geográfico; 117-138 Punto Sur; Núm. 10 (2024): Circulación, viajes y redes del pensamiento geográfico; 117-138 2683-7404 Geography Geographical Tradition Anarquist Geography Feminist Geography Decolonial Geography Geografia Tradición Geográfica Geografía anarquista Geografía feminista Geografía decolonial Rediscovering other geographical traditions Redescubrir otras tradiciones geográficas info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=puntosur&d=14261_oai |
