Fitting into Place adopts a multi-dimensional interdisciplinary
approach to explore shifting geographies and temporalities that
re-constitute 'city publics' - and the place of the 'public
sociologist'. Class, race and gender (dis)advantages are situated
in relation to urban-rural contrasts, where 'future selves' are
reconfigured in and through 'local' and 'global' sites: people
inhabit shifting times and places, from industrial landscapes of
the 'past', to a current present and (imagined) 'cosmopolitan'
'regenerated' future. The rhetorics and vocabularies of place, as
affective and material, suggest a more complex 'fit' than the
language of masculine 'crisis' for past-times, or 'feminised' fit
into new-futures, suggests. Across the generations, women's labour
is still effaced as maps of loyalty hold up families as reference
points of belonging and 'fitting in'; such architecture of place
complicates reified 'geographies of choice' which centre a
middle-class mobile subject. Based upon funded empirical research,
this book will be of interest to sociologists and geographers.
