Introduction/ From the beginning of "the edge"

Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

The chapter is an introduction to the book Geography by 'the Edge': Everyday Spatiotemporal Experiences. The main aim of the introductory section is twofold: to present the book's intention and to provide a common theoretical framework for the chapters.

Throughout the section, we gradually respond to three elementary questions-'Why experiences?', 'Why spatiotemporal?', and 'Why (by) the edge?'- that stem from the title of the book as well as explain why it is important to study differentiated, heterogeneous spatiotemporal experiences and why we consider it marginal in the current Czechoslovakian geographical context.
