Space and Place

Dear Cult Studders,

I am interested in theoretical studies of how we human beings perceive  
and experience space and place. I know Bachelard's The Poetics of  
Space and wonder what other writing that  takes a phenomenological,  
cognitive, psychological, psychoanalytic, or other interesting  
approach to this topic you find particularly compelling.

Thanks,

Mary Leonard

Re: Space and Place

Mary,
Well I'm not sure if this is too specific, but Murray Forman's "The 'Hood
Comes First: Race, Space, and Place in Rap and Hip-Hop" offers interesting
discussion on the importance of space in this subculture.

RE: Space and Place

Mary-

You might try Ray Oldenburg's book The Great Good Place. For more on him, his other related work, and a good
sense for what it's all about go to: http://www.pps.org/articles/roldenburg/   I also like the work of
Melinda Milligan, and here's a pretty good overview:  http://www.sonoma.edu/sociology/faculty/melinda_milligan.html

RE: Space and Place

Mary,

this is an enormous topic in Cultural Geography that intersects heavily with Cultural Studies.  Hence a few
years ago we created the Environment, Space and Place division of the CSA (we have three sessions in this
year's conference).  The literature ranges from Lefebrve's analysis of capitalism and the production of
space to Tuan's phenomenology to work on landscape and art (see "Landscape"
 By John W. Wylie, 2007).  You might start with  "Cultural Geography: A Critical Dictionary of Key Concepts"
(2005) by Sibley,  Jackson, Atkinson & Washbourne; and "Key thinkers on space and place" By Rob Kitchin &
Gill Valentine.

Hope that helps,

Doug

RE: Space and Place

There is the whole sub discipline of cultural geography that deals with
these issues. . Good  general introductions are Don Mitchell's Cultural
Geography: A Critical Introduction  and Paul Adams, Geographies of Media and
Communication and Peter Jackson, Maps of Meaning. There are numerous readers
and edited collection.  A couple (among many good ones)  Textures of Place
edited by Paul  Adams.  nd  Thinking Space edited by Mike  Craig.

I have found very useful "Space and Place. The perspective of Experience"
by Yi-fui Tuan, the University of Minnesota Press, 1977.

Re: Space and Place

Dear all,
at the risk of tooting my own horn -- my book (co-authored w/ Herbert Reid)
grapples with this from multiple directions -- political, phenomenological,
economic

Herbert Reid & Betsy Taylor, *Recovering the Commons: Democracy, Place, and
Global Justice*, Champaign, Il: University of Illinois Press.
http://www.press.uillinois.edu/books/catalog/37ddr4ge9780252034954.html

would love to get your reflections on these questions!

all best,
Betsy Taylor

Re: Space and Place

Just a few things to add to other suggestions, quickly: Doreen Massey - Space, Place, and Gender and For
Space; Michel de Certeau's The Practice of Everyday Life's 'Spatial Practices' section, Thinking Space
edited by Crang and Thrift ...
