A choreme is an elementary structure of space which is represented by a graphic model in addition to systemic models. This approach led to lively discussions in France. Chorematic have been victim of its own success and have been wrongly considered as "easy mapping" whereas this is principally a research method in spatial analysis combining geographical theory, spatial analysis and graphic modelling. The emergence of post-modernism in geographical thought in France contributed to left the studies of territories, and therefore of their representations behind. This paper suggests the benefits of closer linkages between spatial analysis and postmodern approches. The discussion highlights the general issues as well as identifies their specific relevance to geographical analyses today.
