Crisis and post-crisis. Looks and contributions of Geography

The presentation hinges on a double approach: to provide a brief overview of the notion of crisis in geographic works (mainly French-speaking) and then show how geography classes help to understand economic crises through two particularly interesting approaches: the mapping of certain crisis indicators and the analysis of changes in productive systems.
While geographers have generally favoured global dynamics and changes rather than crises, which are merely breaking points or bifurcation points, their work unequivocally allows us to take into account the spatial aspects of crises and their impacts, either thanks to mapping, or by studying the relations between economy, societies and land. Hence, geography classes are indeed complementary to economics classes.
