Seamon, David
Life takes place: phenomenology, lifeworlds, and place making - United States of America -- Routledge -- 2018 - ix, 220p.
'Life Takes Place' argues that, even in our mobile, hypermodern world, human life is impossible without place. Seamon asks the question: why does life take place? He draws on examples of specific places and place experiences to understand place more broadly. Advocating for a holistic way of understanding that he calls 'synergistic relationality,' Seamon defines places as spatial fields that gather, activate, sustain, identify, and interconnect things, human beings, experiences, meanings, and events.
