Putting together texts from the feminist and qualitative geographies of the 1990s and 2000s, which ones have founded the scientific project of geography on a double movement of deconstruction and reconstruction of the fieldwork methodologies, this paper aims at developing an altogether theoretical and conceptual perspective on the issue of the geographical knowledge’s aesthetics. Built on a reflection about the identity motives and the forms of embodiment that characterize the fieldworker’s performance, resorting to a body of texts of the contemporary psychoanalysis, this paper offers a critical perspective on the genealogy of the aesthetics of spatial knowledge (scopic, linguistic and haptic), before it articulates them within a transitional framework.
