Document Summary
Week 7 readings: everyday space, mobile subjects and place-based belonging in suburban. Conventional models of belonging are being placed under pressure. A diversity of mobile subjects occupy and produce city spaces, experiencing place through different temporal lenses and scales of connectedness. Urban spaces as distinctive environments with unique constraints and opportunities. The relationship between heterogeneous everyday mobilities and practices of making place- socio-spatial routines, making spaces inhabitable by imprinting them with the patterns of their own local lives, e. g. walking to the shops. These practices simultaneously construct and inscribe the landscape with social identities and create a sense of belonging and security. Campsie case study: multicultural, in a state of flux and change. Complex entanglement of migration with urban, social and economic change. Place and space are more than inert containers of social life- they are continually produced and contested. Bishal- difficulty entering australian labour market because of race. Jeong hoon- lacked social capital, didn"t know anyone when he migrated.
