Learning outcomes


Course contents

The course will cover the geographical reconnaissance of modern thought and its conceptual tools. In particular, the political and economical nature of that thought will be analysed through a critical reflection of the concepts developed by geography, namely space, distance and direction, where they show more evidence: the map in its alleged scientific rigor.
