Abstract

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book shows a photo of the 1969 installation Reticularea by the German-Venezuelan artist and Jewish refugee Gertrud “Gego” Goldschmidt. It explores the history of Dutch quantitative geography. Commonly described as a latecomer to the quantitative revolution, Dutch spatial science coincided with the societal transformation of the late 1960s. The book describes how quantitative methods took root in Dutch geography in these two waves in the 1950s and 1960s and discusses why the first wave has been substantially forgotten. It deals with a place-based narrative about the arrival of quantitative geography in Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s. The book explores the materialized network of human bodies and nonhuman objects responsible for the production, circulation, and reception of quantitative geographies in Brazil.
