Tim Cresswell’s Place an Introduction explores the meaning of the word “Place”, he looks at it from different points of view.
When we say place, the first thing that comes to our mind is a physical place like home, school and etc, but Cresswell argues that a place can be virtual, it can be art, it can be a national icon. He redefines the word “Place”, for example art can contribute to a place, a protest in a place can make a place iconic and historic and the new place which is virtual world which is a parallel world of our society, where we “can fall in love, perform concert and fall in love. ”
Reading Cresswell’s Place an Introduction gave me a better understanding of Place, and what it means in different place and time.
