work analyzes Foucault's contribution to the development of geographic thinking
through emphasis on its interpretation of space and elements of its
epistemology. To understand this, it will start from two directions, from the
geographer's interest in Foucault's geography, as well as his reference works
for this discipline. These disciplinary issues are best marked by his notions
of geoepistemology and spatial turn in social and humanities, which are
important because two issues we will address in this work. First, it refers to
more precise definitions of the boundaries of modern, for which there is a
consensus among geographers and is related to the establishment of scientific
geography (Humboldt and Ritter), but the end of this epoch is interpreted
differently. Some geographers link this to: identifying three key principles
for the construction of postmodernism, which are: style, epoch and method
(Dear, 1988); an increased attack on history in modern thought (Soja, 1989); infuriatingly
difficult to define (Cloke et
al., 1991) or with the emergence of neoliberalism (Peet, 1998). Another issue
concerns the possibility of applying post-structural methods to deconstruct
major cultural and geographical changes in the Western Balkans at the end of
the 20th century. This will be achieved through indications of genealogical
analysis in the interpretation of contemporary historical-geographical and
political-geographical issues in the example of Sarajevo (1992-1995).</p>
