摘要

Geologists have argued that from the close of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth century, a period commonly defined as the Enlightenment, little, if any, progress was made in the development of the earth sciences in Britain and, more widely, in Europe. This was due largely to religious dogma and the requirement for extensive fieldwork when the facilities needed in remote areas were lacking. Counter to some perspectives, this period saw the beginning of cave exploration beyond mining, and the transformation of the way cave space was perceived. Geographer, Doreen Massey, presents three propositions for how space can be defined: firstly, as a process generated through interrelations; secondly, as a process encompassing a variety of distinct trajectories; thirdly, as a process that is continually under construction. Massey's propositions reconcile the range of interested groups in cave exploration and the variety of theories, both scientific and aesthetic, developed during this period. These groups variously defined a cave space as distinct from its earlier mythic roots and constructed a new space ripe with scientific and aesthetic potential. Out of this defining process emerged a recognizable 'caver' identity that helped lay the foundations for the speleological discoveries of the nineteenth century.
