World Binding
Key concept of action/agencycentered human/social geography, based on the shift from a space-centered geographical imagination to the analysis of the everyday geography-making. It expresses the basic assumption, that the postulation of the study of societies and cultures in space or the study of space includes to a certain extend the acceptance of a (pre-modern) concept of an absolute and material (container, based on Newton's ideas) space. An action/agency-centered perspective develops a worldview in which the embodied subjects form the nucleus of geographic research, analyzing how they bring the ‘world’ to themselves under spatially dis-embedded conditions (space-time distanciation/globalization), on the basis of everyday regionalizations, specific forms of appropriations and specific power relations.
Regionalizations = how people relate to the world. You need the territorialisation to get in touch with other people. Territorialism = ??
Behaving in space and determind by space. Objective space is difficult because we always have a certain interpretation of space.
