Quebec’s Cultural Geography
Quebec’s cultural geography stands out from its other geographical sub-disciplines in that it takes special interest in the identity-related means and ends of the territorial practices that structure and create the entity that is the province of Quebec, a distinguishing feature making it essential to the destiny of Quebec geography as well as to the future of Quebec society. An examination of the foundations of Quebec’s cultural geography and of its main issues and actors is proposed here in order to evaluate how it takes part in Quebec’s socioterritorial dynamic and how it helps us to understand the meaning of place and the sense of belonging of those who, inhabiting Quebec, recognize themselves as Quebecers and project themselves onto its space.
