Régis Keerle

Régis Keerle’s interests lie in the field of social and cultural geography. He is interested in abstract issues, looking to define how geography can be linked to other social sciences. One of its main theoretical starting points is the morphogenetic theory applied to the social production of space. Not dissimilarly, those interests are focused on a kind of useful countermapping that deals with cartographic anxiety by reason, named « mappographie » (« mappe » is a French neologism based on the two latin roots which give expression to mapping). Within this approach, he focused empirically upon sports, childhood and young people, and more widely on public utilities.
