In essence i am looking at space and place. which are the core concepts of geography. Upon cooking up and writing my proposal without any actual references to my theory, i went looking to see if these concepts existed in the world of geography as they did in my head ( and everyone else's). To my great surprise and excitement i found some very interesting perspectives looking at space, place and identity. It was reassuring at some level that i had direct theoretical references to lean on, and that i was not alone in this space.
1) Postmodernist Geography: a paper. in pdf format.
Looking at the notion of space and place through the postmodernistic lens. which is what, i discovered, i am attempting.
2) Humanistic Geography: Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various environments.
3) Psychogeography: Psychogeography was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals." Another definition is "a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities...just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape."
