History and Geography: Foundations of Complementarity The interest in geography shown by Annales historians such as Febvre, Bloch and Braudel dates back to the very beginning of the journal. But common concerns have dissipated, and geography and history have long since proven their independence from each other. As far as history is concerned, for example, the lessons of geographers most attentive to the complex analysis of processes, like Roger Dion, habe been little heeded. And yet today one finds points where geography and history meet up: the relations between nature and culture, and the question of territories (first andforemost perhaps, the city). Concerning such commonly explored questions, the specificity of these disciplines cannot be defined by associating one with time and the other with space, but must rather be defined by their practices and ways of grasping objets.
