Introduction: Defining Place
• Place is not the property of geography – it is a concept that travels quite freely between
disciplines and the study of place benefits from an interdisciplinary approach.
• Jeff Malpas (2010) argued that “place is perhaps the key term for interdisciplinary
research in the arts, humanities and social sciences in the twenty-first century”.
• Zook and Graham (2007)
- Software is producing DigiPlace
• Place is a shared resource, and when you give it all to a single identity, you are giving
them the power not to only tell you about location, but to shape it (Wroclawski 2014)
• We tend to underestimate the political power of physical places.
• Politics trouble our consciences. But places haunt out imaginations. (Kimmelman 2011)
• John Agnew: 3 fundamental aspects of place as a “meaningful location”
1. Location
- The material setting for social relations – the actual shape of place within which
people conduct their lives as individuals
2. Locale
3. Sense of place
- The subjective and emotional attachment people have to place
Space and Place
• Yi-Fu Tuan has likened space to movement and place to pauses – stops along the way.
• The ideas “space” and “place” require each other for definition.
• When humans invest meaning in a portion of space and then become attached to it in
some way (naming is one such way) it becomes a place (Lefebvre 1991).
Place and Landscape
• Place vs landscape
- He realized as he watched that had happened in going away. The valley as
landscape had been taken, but its work forgotten. The visitor sees beauty, he
inhabitant a place where he works and has his friends. Far away, closing his eyes, he
had been seeing this valley, but as the visitor sees it, as the guide book sees it.
(Williams 1960)
• We do not live in landscapes – we look at them.
