Lauren Melrose Place Strip Song
Yi-Fu Tuan, the most prestigious contemporary geographer, believes the experience and emotions still felt privileged to know and geographical space. In this sense developed the concepts of "topophilia" and "topophobia" sentimental value associated with attraction or denial to certain places ... "topophilia" would be all emotional and positive affective relationships that unite man with a certain place, eg your home, your neighborhood, your town or city where he lives, has to do with feelings and sentiments such as "comfortable", "home", "relaxed" "No stress" ...-static experiments is both natural and constructed places. If topophilia reaches the level of feeling awe, Tuan called the "topolatría." On the contrary, "topophobia" imply negative emotional relationships, caused by environments, places and landscapes that we are somehow ugly or induce anxiety and depression, unfortunately, a widespread feeling in many modern cities chaotic, dysfunctional and alienating. Another term invented by Tuan is "toponegligencia" which would be the lack of rootedness, a sense of belonging, lack of identity, we sometimes have in our cities, regions or other areas of conflict. For Yi-Fu Tuan, "location" corresponds to an organized world of meaning. It is essentially a static concept-in fact a fixed point of meeting common experiences. The "place" is a center of irreplaceable significance for the foundation of our identity as individuals and as members of a community, thus associating the feeling of home ("home place ") ... For Tuan "places" vary greatly in size: a rocking chair on the terrace is a place, but so is a nation-state ... Know and feel the small places via our direct experience, even as intimate feelings through touch and caress, but a region, for example, is far from direct experience of most people but can also be transformed in place location-as-a passionate loyalties through education, politics, even art, a photograph ...
Oh, my places, spaces, shelter on my journey through the world, life ... privileged observation centers reflections from which I look, also metaphorically around the countryside, far away ... But my sites do not have to be yours and vice versa ... It is our pure subjectivity that makes some places have a special meaning for each: the birthplace and the scene of our love more delicious or places that remind you of a memorable trip ... We need a compromise between the individual and social subjectivity and to establish meeting places in which to share experiences ... lived in common places, but then remember them apart ... - Come on, you have no shame, fear! Say a site you want to transform rather wrapped up in my arms ... a place where we live and look at us as far as we let our eyelashes tangled ... But please, than a common place ... I hate ghosts around my bed ...
