영문 초록

The theme of travel is, at least in theory, a breeding ground of a meeting between the rationalist perspective and the humanistic or cognitive perspective in geography. Indeed the two approaches have often followed opposite routes, one being anchored to the objective description and the other reaching the subjectivism of behaviour geography. This article tries to fit in that multiple perspective which aims to reconcile rationalist and cognitive analysis, focusing on a multidimensional approach in the description and representation of places. This contribution seeks to experiment with new ways of spreading travel culture by using the specific instruments of the geographer. It is also an attempt to verify the reliability of the new means of expression and of the new multimedia techniques starting from proper geographical instruments such as GIS and basing hypertext flexibility on cartographic tangibility. We intend to clarify the reasons and the epistemological framework of our proposal and to analyse specific applications such as that we have realized with reference to a journey in the United States: the hypermap named Amerigo. The fundamental innovative aspect is the inclusion of the subjective dimension, coming from travel experience, within a system of objective references linked to geographical coordinates.
