Cultural and social geography in Argentina: precedents and recent trends

Few are the researchers who catalog their work as exploring the sphere of social and cultural geography in Argentina. The political and historical context may account for the absence of a tradition in connection with these topics. Indeed, and as we will describe later in this article, the periodic disruption of democratic governments has had a direct impact on Argentine universities and the research domain. As a result, many geographers who have shown some interest in establishing a link between social processes and forms of spatial organization or cultural matters associated to the characteristics of places seem to have been dismissed from their positions. Having ascertained the irregular continuity of cultural and social geography studies, we have divided this article into two sections. The first section traces the history of the cultural and social geography approaches in Argentina. In turn, we argue the hypothesis that cultural geography work undertaken by the end of the nineteenth century was the basis for the development of studies of social geography initiated in the 1960s. The second section introduces research being conducted today which might be identified as social and cultural geography. Based on this analysis, we note that research on social geography is more established than cultural geography and that the latter still needs much development.
