The idea of 'flirting' with space is central to this book. Space is
conceptualised as being in constant flux as we make our way through
various contexts in our daily lives, and is considered in relation
to encounters with complexities and flows of material culture. This
book focuses on journeys, which are perceived as dynamic processes
of contemporary life and its spaces, and how creativity happens in
the inter-relations of space and journeys encourage creativity.
Unravelled through a range of empirical case studies of journeys
through and encountered with space, this book builds new critical
syntheses of the intertwining of space and life. Based on
investigations undertaken by the author over the past 20 years, it
explores the mundane and the exotic, the 'lay' and the 'artistic',
combining and inter-relating them in a diversity of time and
expression, fleeting and surviving. Such investigations, using both
visual and non-visual material, include examinations of allotment
holding, the work of artists, caravanning and tourism, photography
and parish maps. The analyses of such seemingly disparate subjects
are linked together and build on each other to create a fascinating
and original view of humanity's interaction with space. Included
are fresh discussions of belonging, disorientation and the working
of identity and play. The notion of 'gentle politics' is
introduced.
