  This article is a revision of the previous edition article by G. Pratt, volume 5, pp. 3070–3075, © 2001, Elsevier Ltd. Abstract Early conceptualizations of cultural geography by the Berkeley School tended to focus on the morphology of cultural landscapes. Cultural geography has since developed from being a subdiscipline into a dominant critical perspective within the social sciences. Developments in cultural geography in the 1990s focused on questioning various cultural representations (landscape as text). Subsequent work questioned the theoretical and political status of ‘culture,’ with the effect of blurring taken-for-granted distinctions between culture, nature, and economy. More recently, cultural geography has been developed further through an engagement with ‘more-than representational’ thinking and the ‘mobilities’ paradigm.
