Re-reading Terrae incognitae. The place of imagination in geography by J.K. Wright

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: It may seem strange perhaps at a first glance, to see the famous pioneering essay by John Kirtland Wright, Terrae incognitae. The place of imagination in geography, re-presented in this section devoted to classic writings in the field of geographical teaching and education. I firmly believe, though, that the research perspectives indicated by the American geographer are not only still valid and challenging today, but that they also offer stimulating perspectives in a didactic perspe-ctive as well. In my brief introduction, after providing some information about the essay, I will try to explain why I think that geographical teaching can still profit from Wright’s words.
