Geografía física crítica

Rebecca A. Lave, Matthew W. Wilson, Elizabeth S. Barron, Christine Biermann

Resumen


Un reciente artículo de opinión reavivó el debate sobre si el maquillaje interdisciplinario actual de la geografía es una reliquia histórica o una auténtica fuente potencial de vitalidad intelectual. En este artículo adoptamos esta última postura, y nuestros argumentos están a favor de la integración sostenida de la geografía humana física y crítica. Por razones tanto políticas como pragmáticas, hemos bautizado esta área donde la investigación y la práctica se entremezclan, con el nombre de geografía física crítica (GFC). La GFC combina la atención crítica puesta en las relaciones de poder con el conocimiento profundo de las ciencias biofísicas o la tecnología al servicio de la transformación ambiental y social. Argumentamos que ya sea practicadas de forma individual o en equipo, las investigaciones de GFC pueden mejorar la calidad intelectual y expandir la relevancia política tanto de la geografía humana física como de la crítica, porque es cada vez menos práctico separar el análisis de los sistemas naturales del de los sociales: los paisajes socio-biofísicos son producto tanto de relaciones desiguales de poder, de historias de colonialismo y de desigualdades raciales y de género como lo son de la hidrología, la ecología y el cambio climático. Aquí revisamos el trabajo ya existente en GFC; discutimos los beneficios primarios de la investigación, enseñanza y práctica integradoras con enfoque crítico; y ofrecemos nuestros pensamientos colectivos sobre cómo hacer que la GFC funcione.
