In international human geography one of the most interesting developments in recent years has come from the so-called cultural turn and ‘new’ cultural geography. This article deals with the conceptualization of culture within ‘old’ and ‘new’ cultural geography. It will show that the recent reinterpretation of culture also concerns conceptualizations of nature. What is striking here is that in the process from ‘old’ to ‘new’ cultural geography, the culture-nature relationship has been lost in favour of a society-space relationship. This is the starting point for a critique of conceptualizations of culture from a feminist perspective. The article concludes that an integration of the cultural turn with feminist perspectives (French feminism and environmental feminism) will create a more fruitful approach to the conceptualization of both culture and nature, which is at the core of human geography
