3 for the price of 2

My posts are like the proverbial London buses today… you wait ages for one, then three come at once! I’ve stumbled across another blog, and quite an interesting one at that, called: Space & Culture.

‘Space and Culture’s unique focus is on social spaces… [bringing] together dynamic, critical interdisciplinary research in cultural geography, sociology, cultural studies, architectural theory, ethnography, communications, urban studies, environmental studies and discourse analysis’.


Recent interesting posts have been:

  • A book review of ‘Empire Islands: Castaways, Cannibals, and Fantasies of Conquest.’

  • Noting ‘Border-Crossing: Passage Oublié’ – an interactive artwork at Pearson Airport, Toronto.

  • Highlighting ‘Aerographies’, a session to be held at the 2009 meeting of the American Association of Geographers (AAG) in Las Vegas: ‘In particular, we are interested to engage air as an evocative “object” for thinking relational and experiential [about] space… Can air be an evocative object for extending geographical engagements with relational materiality and space’?

The final post made by Space & Culture further makes the case in my books to head on over to Nevada! It’s a shame I doubt I’ll be there in March 2009…
