Making Place, Making Self explores new understandings of place and
place-making in late modernity, covering key themes of place and
space, tourism and mobility, sexual difference and subjectivity.
Using a series of individual life stories, it develops a
fascinating polyvocal account of leisure and life journeys. These
stories focus on journeys made to the North Cape in Norway, the
most northern point of mainland Europe, which is both a tourist
destination and an evocation of a reliable and secure point of
reference, an idea that gives meaning to an individual's life. The
theoretical core of the book draws on an inter-weaving of
post-Lacanian versions of feminist psycho-analytical thinking with
phenomenological and existential thinking, where place-making is
linked with self-making and homecoming. By combining such
ground-breaking theory with her innovative use of case studies,
Inger Birkeland, here, provides a major contribution to the fields
of cultural geography, tourism, and feminist studies.
