Description
Thoroughly revised and updated, this introduction to place combines everyday uses of the term with complex theoretical debates. The book explores how the concept of place has developed over time, from its origins in the 1950s to its current use in various fields such as ecology, art, and social theory. Familiar stories and examples from news, popular culture, and everyday life are used to explain abstract ideas and debates. The book also examines the link between place and politics, tracing the concept's evolution and its appropriation by cultural geographers. This revised edition features a new chapter on the use of place in non-geographical arenas, providing a fresh perspective on the concept and its applications.
