Authors

  • Davide Papotti Università degli Studi di Parma

Abstract

In this passionate speech Mackinder tells several stories. The story of the discipline in the school and university systems of the United Kingdom between the end the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century; his personal story as a teacher of geography and champion of the subject; and the story of a subject that has constantly to reaffirm its position, suspended between sciences and humanities.
