Creative representations of place

Cultural geography and the social sciences have seen a rise in the use of creative methods with which to understand and represent everyday life and place.

Conversely, many artists are producing work that centres on ideas of place and space and utilising empirical research methods that have a resonance with geographers.

This book contributes to the body of literature emerging from such creative approaches to place.

Drawing together theory and practice from cultural geography, anthropology and graphic design, the author proposes an interdisciplinary geographic process for interrogating and representing everyday life and place.

A diverse set of research projects highlight participatory and autoethnographic approaches to the research.

The sites of the projects are varied, encompassing the commercial space of grocery shops, cafés and restaurants, the private, domestic space of the home, and a Scottish World Heritage site.
