Spatial Embodiment of Culture: Ethnography of Space and Place

How are social and cultural processes reflected in urban spaces? And what can ethnography tell us about this? Drawing on more than twenty years of fieldwork, anthropologist Seth Lowe shows how ethnographically based spatial analysis can shed light on the everyday lives of people whose homes and places are being invaded by globalization, uneven development, violence, and social inequality. Lowe develops the notion of "the spatial embodiment of culture," which incorporates several conceptual frameworks at once: from the social production and social construction of space to the analysis of corporeality, discourse, emotions, affects, and translocality. In the combination of these approaches, the author sees a way to redefine human interaction with the environment in urban planning and architecture. The challenge her concept helps to address is to offer professionals new methods for creating socially sensitive and sustainable urban environments. Setha Lowe is Professor of Anthropology, Earth and Environmental Sciences (Geography), Environmental Psychology, and Women's Studies at the City University of New York Graduate Center (CUNY Graduate Center).
