Cultural Identity and Heritage

At the crossroad of studies analysing the world through its geographic dimension and the ones dealing with a man, as a singular universality, this paper is based on a geographic definition of identity, conceived as a self-to-self relation made possible by the world. It focuses on two notions: la "place", defined as all the places used by a single man, and le "placement", which refers to the formation process of places. Both define a "geographic signatures" that identifie each and every inhabitants and give an account, as a result as well as a process, of one's singularisation in the world. Could it then be possible to discuss a man's life through its geography? Franz Schubert's life in Vienna provides some answers to the question. They should be seen as a heuristic test, in particular in its insistance on the relation between the inhabited space and the inhabitants which defines what is it to inhabit.
