ABSTRACT

Geographers have a very particular way of looking at place as they observe, analyze, synthesize, try to understand, search for an interpretation, and weave a narrative fabric to explain the phenomena that have, directly or indirectly, helped to model the surface of the land. Among the most important concerns of these special ‘observers’ of the planet, in fact, are the wrinkles on the terrestrial surface, whether these are in the physical environment or whether they are of a cultural nature, as is increasingly the case. Geographers not only reflect on the structural paths that, as some believe, could lead us to homogenization, they are also interested in differences, limits, discontinuities, barriers and boundaries. Geographical spaces are seen today as complex entities, which are multidimensional, and therefore more interesting.
