Synopsis
This is a critical exploration of the importance of individual experiences in social and geographical contexts. It focuses on a geography of people rather than of things - such as the experiences of ageing, ability and disability, gender, sexuality and ethnicity. The concept of the individual is investigated through a series of case study chapters on different dimensions of human experiences. They are explored as part of the complex and dynamic mix of a shared individual and social experience. Space - both as a physical medium and a cultural medium - is integral to the relationship between the individual and society, and this book demonstrates its importance in the manifestation of different constructions of individual and social experiences.
