Proxemic studies concentrate on the structure and organization
of space, its design and use, allocation, and the relations encoded
in it as aspects of cultural communication. Space is perceived
through the senses, and since cultures use the senses differently,
they create boundaries differently. Pellow, in her edited
collection of boundary studies, focuses on the social conception
and production of boundedness. The essays by 10 scholars, eight of
them anthropologists, explore the nature of boundaries in terms of
change, space and place, society and culture, politics, class,
urbanization, housing, and secular and spiritual life.
