This was about the relationship of geography towards geoweb. I don't want to underestimate the "theory" behind the term neogeography. I just want to point out, that the term "neogeography" don't fit that well (at least for me). Because it "disregards" (I'm not sure if that word fit's the real meaning that I want to transmit here) geography in some sense, and because of this it is in some sense "misunderstandable" ... and it maybe leads to make the assumption that this "movement" was originated from geography what is NOT the case from my point of view.
But additionally I don't see where this discussion about neo vs. paleo should lead? It IS devisive to my my understanding. What is the goal here? best, Christian _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
