The "New" Cultural Geography

The "New" Cultural Geography emerged in the late 20th century, focusing on how culture shapes and is shaped by space and place. It emphasizes human experiences, identities, and social practices, exploring how factors like race, gender, and class influence our understanding of geography. This approach considers cultural landscapes, symbols, and meanings associated with different locations, highlighting the dynamic relationships between people and their environments. Instead of viewing geography as just physical terrain, the "New" Cultural Geography investigates the intricate ways in which culture affects societal structures and the way we interact with our surroundings.
