| Abstract | |
The relatively recent institutionalization of geography, especially in Germany, results from an ongoing, dialectical process of reflection and systematization of ideas, the result of numerous technological advances, materials and aesthetic, tied to a political and economic context marked, started more precisely with the advent of modern thinking in Europe and the consolidation of capitalism. Some theoretical concepts contributed different procedures that influenced in a diverse and complex way to form the theoretical framework in the institutionalization of geography as a discipline. To understand the nuances of this remarkable process, yet little studied, this paper will seek to prove that Oscar Peschel, and Friedrich Ratzel Alfred Hettner's work and practices allowed the consolidation of a program and a methodology for geographic studies, guided by the influence of Positivism, Darwinism and Imperialism in the process of institutionalization of geography in Germany, in the passage of nineteenth century to the twentieth century (AU) | |
