In the lineage of the historian Fernand Braudel, Christian Grataloup looks for the recurrences of geographical configurations to propose modellings. His work is situated in the prospect of global history. He so leads a critical analysis of the big spatial divisions, in particular « continents », and practices of planispheres.
