| Summary: | This article explores the types of labelling used during the establishment of geography in the university system, at the turn of the 20th century, by placing these labelling processes in a social field that goes beyond the intellectual field usually given priority by historiographical research. Looking closely at the discursive situations in which a “school of geography” was defined, it analyses two successive sequences. The first one, which is internal to the educational sphere and supported by an international scene, is characterised by the promotion of a university teaching group and is accompanied by the disqualification of rival programmes. The second, made up of labellings endogenous and exogenous to geography, is structured by the internal rivalries affecting an amorphous grouping of emerging “social sciences”; then the word “school” finds itself in competition with other terms (“method” and especially “discipline”) which turn out to be more effective when categorising groups of scholars. |
