In the history of climatic determinism, we can easily ignore the possibility of an ethical creativity within the climatic stereotype, a possible critical agency, especially in the case of Bodin, who uses the theory in order to promote a hybrid and harmonious vision of the world at a critical time in French history. I will argue that his version of climate theory has a performative function which instrumentalizes space and seeks to instill certain values within a national consciousness and, in turn, play a critical yet figurative role towards the intolerance of the civil war. On the other hand, my discussion of Bodin’s climate theory will draw an analogy with the “geocriticism” of Bertrand Westphal. In a metacritical way, we can question the argumentative structure as well as the ideological foundations of this contemporary discourse, where the values of “hybridity” and “interdependence” also play an important role.
