Beskrivning

What does place mean for human beings? What does it mean to exist in space? How do we place ourselves not only in physical space, but within the interior landscape of consciousness? Place Meant is an interdisciplinary exploration of these and related questions, through the lenses of psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology, geography, folklore, memoir, and the history of ideas. It will be of interest to anyone who has traveled the earth and pondered their relationship to home, away, and the world at large.

Recensioner i media

[The author] is constantly researching and teaching in the U.S.A. and Canada for over two decades. This assured his excellence in interdisciplinary interpretation so he became one of the most zealous seekers in [noetics, hermeneutics and phenomenology]. . . .Being a dynamic book, Place Meant is filled with pop-culture references . . . The writer seems to address its work to every individual concerned in creating a personal topology facing the fact that eventually the human race would’ve developed to a point when we’ll shoot sci-fi films in the actual outer space.
