Geographic imagination is a person's own world view or their interpretation of the world that is demonstrated through the cultural landscape and affects their behavior towards others. It is the way people view social and spatial reality. Geographic imagination is portrayed in the book, ''A Bone from a Dry Sea'' when Vinny, one of the main characters, "felt as if the whole continent might be a single sleeping animal, with its own special odor." (40). Here, Vinny is talking about a foreign place to her, Africa, and how she sees the distinct landscape of the continent. This is how Vinny sees the reality around her. Her view of Africa and how she describes it's smell as " cold wet iron, plus an animal smell" (40) is how she perceives this specific place. Geographic imagination and how you interpret the world around you is unique to every individual. | Geographic imagination is a person's own world view or their interpretation of the world that is demonstrated through the cultural landscape and affects their behavior towards others.
