Document Summary
Geography, space, epistemology, landscape, posthuman, etiology, situated knowledge, reflexivity, and environmental determinism. Geography: occupies a puzzling position between social and natural sciences. It means different things to different people at different times. Relationship between space and society, but the reality is that these two themes are very broad. Space: always changing, different meanings at different points. A shift from a grid or absolute space (a concept from the 1970s) to a space that is constituted. There are many little things in locales that contribute to meanings and sense of place. Think about the roles of the things located in places. A phone used in class (it is not ok) is different from a phone used in a stadium (it is ok) All the objects in a football field produce this sense of place. Space is given a meaning through myth, language and ritual. Its use and occupation shaped by its material form and immaterial meanings (amorphous) that gather around it.
