In this intersection nowadays signals a search and an encounter with an existential science that allows the Self is revealed in other forms of connection between man and land and a conception of childhood that has opening for imagination, memory, fantasies and daydreams. Through this perspective, Humanistic Geography presents the construction of a methodological framework and theoretical to school geography.
