| Summary: | Primary fieldworks precede the formalisation of geographical knowledges, but not only. It also refers to a somewhat vague notion that raises the question of the antecedence of fieldwork in the researcher’s relationship to the knowledge he or she develops. Fieldwork is a polysemous term that has a multitude of definitions depending on the scientific disciplines and methodologies, the themes or the objects/subjects studied. The fieldwork is therefore not only a portion of the earth’s surface under study, but a spatial context, an environment, an interplay between its physical, societal, cultural and sensory dimensions, etc. This article is a (self)reflective contribution on the importance of fieldwork for Geography. It addresses the multitude of scientific fieldworks, the concept of primary fieldwork and a reflection on the interdependence between methodology and fieldwork for the production of geographical knowledge. |
