  • SOCI 3300: Space, Place, and Community

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    It is often asserted that physical location has become irrelevant as a result ofnew communication technology, transportation systems, postmodern cultural transformations, and global flows of capital. However, there has been a rediscovery of the sociological importance of place-- as an empirical phenomenon, as a theoretical object, and as a conceptual anchor for critical discourse. This seminar offers an exploration of the sociology of place andthe ways that place continues to matter (for sociology and for society). The course will explore cultural practices, forms of material power, and social processes that produce particular landscapes, with a particular focus on the ways that constructions of space and place connect humans to each other and to the non-human world. The course is designed to work toward an understanding of the ways that social relations are inscribed, registered visually, represented orobscured, naturalized or manipulated, and given obdurate material reality in the intentional production of spatial arrangements and architectural forms, as well as in the apparently unintended landscapes (both urban and rural, built and supposedly "natural") against which such productions take shape.
