Document Summary
Reading questions chapter 4: according to the author, what is the difference between space and place? (pgs. Space is where culture is lived, then place is a result of their union: the author makes three very specific observations about place. Non-human actors have an influence in taking and making place. Example: think of the traces left by beavers in a place their felling of trees, construction of dams, and the subsequent pooling of river systems all have a dominant effect on their chosen inhabitant. Places are made when they are intentionally bounded. Example: cultural groups intentionally take and make place in line with their cultural area and its use in a certain way. The importance of scale when engaging with place. Example: scaling on a map: what is the difference between location and locale? (p. 39) Lo(cid:272)atio(cid:374) refers to a pla(cid:272)e as a(cid:374) (cid:858)o(cid:271)je(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e(cid:859) poi(cid:374)t i(cid:374) spa(cid:272)e, a (cid:374)ode, for example, which is (cid:858)so-and-so(cid:859) far fro(cid:373) a(cid:374)other (cid:374)ode.
