KULTURA KAO OBJEKT GEOGRAFSKOG PROUČAVANJA
CULTURE AS AN OBJECT OF GEOGRAPHIC RESEARCH

Summary/Abstract: The text gives a survey of the development of cultural geography from its beginnings at the turn of the twentieth century until today. What can first be observed in this field is the shift from objectness, i.e. the concentration on material elements of culture, toward subjectness, i.e. overaccentuating the subjectivity of perception of the environment, and, second, one can observe the shifts to the hermeneutical standpoints of today’s ”new” cultural geography which, making use of the interpretative approach, is attempting to overcome the separation between subject and object. Cardinal changes are registered in cultural geography’s viewpoint on culture, as well as on the basic objective of cultural geography – the cultural landscape.
