Preferred term

spaces and places  

Definition

  • By theorizing the concepts of “space” and “place,” geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, planners, psychologists, and several different kinds of specialized scholars have tried to bring within their fields the recognition that the relationship between ourselves, the others, and the surrounding environment is a crucial one. Things, such as objects, occur in space in the same way that social relations do. [Source: Encyclopedia of Consumer Culture; Spaces and Places]
