Productions of visibility, intimation and absence female geographers in Germany before 1960. Michel, B. & Paulus, K. Geographische Zeitschrift, 108(2):125–147, 2020.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
The history of geography is usually written as a history of the ideas and actions of white men; the absence of women is presupposed and left unquestioned. The work of women which has hitherto been invisible in the memory of the discipline, can be traced back to a number of acts of rendering invisible and the production of ignorance. The historiography of the discipline is problematised on the basis of three approaches: with the help of visible publications and academic titles, at the level of traces in publications of male geographers and in relation to the boundaries of the archives and the absent. By showing that women did enter the discipline before 1945, the article follows discussions in the history of science about the production of non-knowledge and ignorance and contributes to the feminist history of German-language geography. © 2020 Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH.
