Since 2004, a group of German-speaking geographers inspired by social and cultural theories are holding an annual meeting under the label ‘New Cultural Geography’ (Neue Kulturgeographie, NKG). Right from the beginning it has been their explicit ambition to radically renew German-speaking human geography. Have they succeeded? Thirteen years after the first conference took place, it is about time to take a closer look at the NKG’s role and positioning in German-speaking geography. From a network-analytical scientometric perspective this article empirically scrutinises the myths of the NKG’s formation, it’s self-descriptions and -conceptions, as well as it’s internal and external distinguishing features in the German-speaking countries.
Keywords: New Cultural Geography, human geography, social geography, scientometrics, bibliometrics, social network analysis, citation analysis
