Journal Article
Historical geography, 2009-2010: Geohistoriography, the forgotten Braudel and the place of nominalism
2011
Overview
The 25th anniversary of the death of Fernand Braudel is used to draw attention to two different ways in which he conjoined history and geography. It is argued that Braudel was aware that geography is a constructed ordering device for historical studies, and that this insight is being pursued in a wide range of contemporary historical studies which might be labelled ‘geohistoriographical’. Particular attention is paid to work in Atlantic history and Enlightenment studies. It is suggested that geographers have an important part to play in furthering this insight, provided they keep to a rigorously nominalist conception of the role of place in such historical studies.
