Geography is currently literally fragmented between the geographies of professional geographers (researchers, teachers, planners, geomaticians, popularizing workers, etc.), of non-geographic professionals (cartographers, journalists, writers, politicians, ideologists, etc.), and of everyone else (popular geographies, beliefs, myths, prejudices, etc.). To try to unify them would generate new metaphors that would feed anti-scientific and political discourses. Therefore, the point of view adopted here is not to formulate a metalanguage of geographies but to try to construct a geography as an exact science, using the All/Party logic as a starting point, since it is used explicitly or implicitly by all those who "geographize" in one way or another.
