medico-geographic ideas, and to reassess
the historical, and contemporary,
impact of medical geography,
particularly in the light of repeated
assertions of its ‘apolitical’ or ‘objective’
nature. Given the revival
of interest in Western medicine’s
role different imperial projects, and
in the colonization of the human
body, it is time to consider the place
of medical geographers trained in
the US and in Europe in advancing
these goals. This session endeavoured
to reconsider the articulation
of medico-geographic knowledge as
a political activity of the state.

Voorstelling en
consumptie van ruimte
Aan de Rice University, vond 19-22
maart 1998 een conferentie plaats
waarin getracht werd de mentaliteitsaspecten
van de ruimte te verbinden
met geografische geschiedenis. De geschiedenis
van tourisme raakt daarbij
de milieugeschiedenis.
The conference explored how people
in the nineteenth century thought
about, represented, and made use of
space. How did ideas about space and
its mappings reflect and contribute
to notions of self, of travel, or relations
with others How were class and
gender relations expressed through
space How did relations to physical
space contribute to ideas about race
and nation Aspects of physical space
as it was figured in nineteenth-century
Britain and America or on responses
to these figurations from the larger
world. Areas of interest: the social
dimensions of spatial analysis and
representation; charting the history
of tourism; maps and mapping; domestic
locations and dislocations; real
and imagined topographies; identities
of place; foreignness; consuming cultures;
tourism, eating, and shopping.
