Dissertation (Master's Degree) – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciencias Humanas, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, 2006. It is fundamental to discuss the theoretical and conceptual tendencies of the Physical Geography so that the paths, approaches, influences and debates that have happened in Geography for the last 50 years can be visualized. A balance of the produced works was accomplished and published in the Annals and/or Summary Notebooks and Scientific Contributions in scientific events, occurred from 1954 to 2004, such as: Geographer Brazilian Congress, Geographer National Meeting, National Meeting of Studies on the Environment, Applied Physical Geography National Symposium, Geographical Climatology Brazilian Symposium and Geomorphology National Symposium. This research had such objectives: to accomplish bibliographical raising and to stress some aspects of the Geography historical course in the world and in Brazil specifying the Physical Geography has been approached using as source of information the Annals and/or Summary Notebooks and Scientific Contributions in scientific events accomplished along the period from 1954 to 2004; to reflect about the directions of the research in the Physical Geography, contributing with a analyzed work critical view; to identify the theoretical-methodological and thematic tendencies of the works published in the Annals and/or Summary Notebook and Scientific Contributions in scientific events; to discuss and raise hypotheses about the reasons why many physical geographers participate the events directed to other knowledge areas out of Geography extent; to discuss possible reasons about why some events directed to the Physical Geography area stopped happening; to reflect and analyze the current moment of the Physical Geography. It was also applied a questionnaire along with the Organizing Commission members for events to the Physical Geography area and interviews with Brazilian geographers who have marked the Physical Geography theoretical tendencies. The analysis of those Annals and/or Summary Notebooks and Scientific Contributions allowed the identification of the different types of works that were published and released and they are directly related to the Physical Geography area. Thus a classification of works based on the several Physical Geography subdivisions was accomplished.
