Geographies of Technology:
Space and Place as Aspects of Specific Actions
"In this paper I would like to investigate some of these issues, specifically focusing on the roles which ‘place’ and ’space’ play in discussions about the physical world. I will argue that some of the existing discussions on ‘place’ and ’space’ have over simplified this distinction. For Place and Space, rather than being easily identifiable aspects of the physical world, are actually the battleground over which much conceptual discussion has raged in philosophy and the social sciences. Exploring these arguments, and contrasting the ways in which place and space have been used, is an entry point into thinking about some aspects of technology’s existence, physical extension and incorporaton into human practice."
