GIS and the geographical self

Auteur :
ENTRIKIN, J.N.

Description :
Entrikin, chair of the UCLA Geography Department, is concerned with the conflict between Herbert Mead's I, an autonomous agent, and the me, the self defined by others. GIS is increasingly the me of geography that threatens to overwhelm the I, particularly in small departments. He argues that GIS is central to advancing spatial analysis, but that it is not the central form of though for geography. - (SLD)
