Memorable Geographies

A memorable geography is not one that is tied to mere compendium texts - much less to generalizing perspectives that ignore the particularities, individualities and singularities of different spaces and places. As I see it, the geographical memory of individuals and social groups cannot be neglected, but must incorporate a strong personal point of view". Following this premise, we understand that a geography committed to universalizing aspects that encompass society as a whole, excluding the particular universes of individuals and social groups, cannot account for a genuinely human and personal geography, forged by each informal geographer in their lived world. Following in this direction, memorable geographies would be those forged through autonomous thinking. A way of thinking that focuses on the human being in the midst of their geographic memories introjected into their lived universe.
