ABSTRACT
This book maps how cultural geography approaches place. As the introduction has outlined, this book’s interpretation of cultural geography focuses on the creation and combination of traces in particular geographical sites; it looks at how places are generated through complex amalgams of culture and context. Yet this version of cultural geography isn’t how the discipline has always been. Ideas of culture and geography are not something that have been invented by this book, or discovered fully formed by a single individual for us to put into operation; rather cultural geography has a history. Versions of the discipline have developed by various scholars, in various parts of the world, right up to the present day. The purpose of Part 2 is to outline this history; it tells the story of the ideas, practices, and scholars that have come to define past and present versions of cultural geography.
