Housing Imagination lecture 3

To review the following statements: HI class discussion - lecture 3

1. "The material structure of a place is often the result of decisions made by the powerful to serve their ends...".

2. "All of these [decisions] involve choices that  exclude people and the meanings they represent.".

3. To the feminist geographers home frequently features as a site of patriarchal authority often associated with extremes of abuse, boredom, and backbreaking labor.

4. Home as a place is symptomatic of the ways in which the social production of place as a site of belonging can reinforce social relations of systematically asymmetrical power relations.

5. "It is this very commonsense nature of place-based norms that make them so powerful an ideological tool.".

6. This process of identifying how normative constructions of place exclude 'others' both physically and existentially has been identified across a whole  range of identities including class, sexuality, gender, and physical (dis)ability.

7. 'nonplace': sites which never actually go anywhere but endlessly refer to other place indirectly.

8. One of the alleged prime causes of placelessness and nonplace is increased mobility.

9. Too much mobility mitigates against senses of place.

10. ...think through the ways place is in process and how process makes place...

11. place as the product of everyday habitual mobilities..

12. .. 'body-ballet' to refer to how the body moves habitually as it is performing some task..... When these body-ballets are strung together through a day they produce ... a time-space routine.

13. Individuals... followed 'time-space routine' throughout the day. Often these routines are habitual...

14. When these individual 'time-space routines' coalesce they form a 'place-ballet'.

15. ..places exhibit a kind of unchoreographed yet  ordered practice....

16. ... the meaning of a place may arise out of the constant reiteraction of practices that are simultaneously individual and social..

17. a view of place as a process where the activities of people and institutions produce and are produced by social structures that are saturated with power....

18. .the homeless, refugees, gypsy-travelers, traveling salesmen, and others who are perceived as mobile are labeled as a threat  to place and the moral values associated with it...

19. ..places are actively constituted by mobility - particularly the movement of people but also commodities and ideas....

20. Places are not clearly bounded, rooted in place,  or connected to single homogeneous identities but produced through connections to the rest of the world and therefore are more about routes and roots...
