Taxinomic Proposals for Understanding the Meaning of Habitat
Our goal here is to show that an individual’s representations of his habitat nurture a certain geographic ideal. This ideal appears sometimes as myth, sometimes as utopia and contributes to the construction of individual identity and territoriality. Such reflections enable us to redefine an individual’s habitat as an ideal to be achieved; they also invite us to consider the meaning of habitat as the achievement or non-achievement of this ideal.
