Proposer un atelier pour une autrepraxis en géographie critique

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the ways of exchange and dissemination of knowledge, by observing the power relations relied, in our particular field, on criteria of scientificity that often conceal competition and divergences in political positioning. In response to this project, we wished to propose a kind of (more) horizontal situation about neutrality/engagement and engagement/scientificity in geography. Beyond the content of the topics and issues raised by the corpus, our approach proposes to change our practices of scientific communication in order to avoid the consequences of pyramidal presentations. The workshop allows us to question these consequences and to identify their implications in terms of the production of power relations and to point out the limits of top-down communications.
