- W2336691669 abstract "The future of historical geography within the larger discipline of geography seems to some, once again, problematic. In the closing decades of the twentieth century, geographers have accentuated applied and practical pursuits as well as theoretical and policy-oriented studies. Despite more than thirty years of impressive scholarship and a moment in the limelight in the late 1970s when geographers took stock after the mid-century positivistic binge, historical geographers have found themselves increasingly marginalized in the discipline. Younger historical geographers have often had to hitch their historical proclivities to social theory, environmental topics, or cultural analysis in order to find academic employment. Only four years ago, Cole Harris observed that the “disciplinary landscape is being recalibrated. . . . What seems to be happening, at least in North America, is that history is becoming more geographical and that geography is slowly relinquishing the past.” He concluded that even if new institutional arrangements evolved in the future, what was important was that outstanding humanistic, historical geographical scholarship continue, whatever its disciplinary home. Later I wish to return to his conclusion. Harris made this observation as part of his commentary at the session of the 1998 Association of American Geographers meetings, marking the publication of Volume III of D.W. Meinig’s superb American historical geography, The Shaping of America. He noted the paradox that The Shaping of America “is one of the most geographical works that any North American geographer could possible write.... And yet ... it finds a modest geographical reception.” Comparing Meinig’s reception to a similarly cool one for Carl Sauer’s later work, Harris concluded that both suffered from the same disciplinary problems of “too much of the past, too much of topics that too few geographers know anything about.” Today we gather to celebrate a geographer, who in the grand tradition of Sauer, Meinig," @default.
