Interesting internet resource on "place"
philo, 01:01h
The website Research on Place and Space maintained by Bruce B. Janz (Associate Professor of Humanities, University of Central Florida) offers an incredible amount of material (mostly links) dealing with "place" and related terms such as "non-place", "wilderness", "borders" and so forth.
Prof. Janz characterizes his website as a "philosophical work in the Gadamerian tradition, in that it brings together the work on place so that the various writers can illuminate each other". In any event, his admirable work offers almost limitless resources for anybody even slightly interested in the subject.
Highly recommended.

Bibliographie zum Thema "Raum" in Soziologie, Geographie, Liturgie, Geschichte, Kulturwissenschaft und Physik
philo, 00:31h
Das an der Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz beheimatete DFG-Graduiertenkolleg Raum und Ritual. Funktion, Bedeutung und Nutzung sakral bestimmter Orte stellt auf seiner Homepage eine umfangreiche, leider unkommentierte Bibliographie zum Thema "Raum" zur Verfügung. Neben der Rubrik "allgemeine Raumtheorien" finden sich auch Unterkategorien, die Literatur zur Raumproblematik aus verschiedenen Disziplinen (Soziologie, Geographie, Liturgie, Geschichte, Kulturwissenschaft und Physik) zusammenstellen.
