Description
Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience explores the complex relationships between people and their surroundings. Eminent geographer Yi-Fu Tuan examines how we form attachments to home, neighborhood, and nation, and how our feelings about space and place are influenced by our sense of time.
Through a thoughtful and insightful analysis, Tuan considers the nature of space and place, including the distinction between sacred and biased space, mythical space and place, and cultural attachments to space. He argues that place is often associated with security, while space is associated with freedom.
This influential work has had a significant impact on various fields, including theater, literature, anthropology, psychology, and theology. It remains a valuable contribution to the study of human geography and the way we think about our surroundings.
