Place Based Concepts
A place-based concept is a conjunction that highlights the commonalities and complexities of place-based identity among a vast array of political allegiances and experienced emotions. Each unique conjunction connects up to six categories of component to each textual spatial image.
Those components are:
- type (e.g. home, not-home, fantasy place, road, edge, front)
- scale (e.g. village, city, region, nation, empire, world)
- politics (e.g. Bolshevik, tsarist, nationalist, regionalist)
- feeling (e.g. jubilation, grief, irony, love, belligerence)
- time (e.g. epic time, apocalyptic time, bad past)
- genre (e.g. place, liminal space)
