Beskrivning

Exploring the critical potential of place in continental philosophy, Possibilities of Place in Continental Thought tests the political and ontological valences of this concept to go beyond the limits of existing geographical and phenomenological approaches.Considering place as emergent, relational and enveloping, or in connection to passage, becoming or redemption, the contributions to this volume point to the possibilities inherent in philosophical uses of place. By rejecting a singular and homogenous theory of place, this collection collapses the dichotomies that tend to characterize the discourse on place in favour of a plural conceptualization. It draws attention to the spatial and temporal dynamics within varying theoretical and historical contexts and moves the field forward in significant and vital ways.

Recensioner i media

This volume marks an exciting step forward in asserting place as a specific mode and medium of conceptual inquiry. Far more than a designated site in which events happen and meanings accrue, place occasions the very possibility and process of thought. In this, the volume is acutely sensitive to the ways that place ‘moves’ – refusing singular definitions, offering new ways of thinking critically and creatively.
