[Air-L] Article/literature on "conceptions of space/place" for teaching

Sat Apr 4 01:44:13 PDT 2015

Hi Daniel,

I second the prompt to look at the great work by Kitchin and Dodge. I also
recently wrote a piece about how/why we use spatial metaphors to talk about
the internet (see link below). You may be interested in the piece and the
bibliography in it.

Graham, M. 2013. Geography/Internet: Ethereal Alternate Dimensions of
Cyberspace or Grounded Augmented Realities?
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2166874>* The
Geographical Journal *179(2) 177-182*.*

Matt Zook and Andrew Boulton and I have also been thinking about what it
means to layer digital information over places. The most recent piece on
the topic is this one:

Graham, M., M. Zook., and A. Boulton. 2013. Augmented Reality in the Urban
Environment: contested content and the duplicity of code.
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2012.00539.x/abstract>
 *Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers.*38(3), 464-479.
(pre-publication version here

Best,
Mark
