{"product_id":"geographies-of-disorientation-hardback","title":"Geographies of Disorientation - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpatial disorientation is of key relevance to our globalized world, eliciting complex questions about our relationship with technology and the last remaining vestiges of our animal nature. Viewed more broadly, disorientation is a profoundly geographical theme that concerns our relationship with space, places, the body, emotions, and time, as well as being a powerful and frequently recurring metaphor in art, philosophy, and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing multiple perspectives, lenses, methodological tools, and scales, \u003ci\u003eGeographies of Disorientation \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses questions such as: How do we orient ourselves? What are the cognitive and cultural instruments that we use to move through space? Why do we get lost? Two main threads run through the book: getting lost as a practice, explored within a post-phenomenological framework in relation to direct and indirect observation, wayfinding performances, and the various methods and tools used to find our position in space; and disorientation as a metaphor for the contemporary era, used in a broad range of contexts to express the difficulty of finding points of reference in the world we live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wide range of literature, \u003ci\u003eGeographies of Disorientation\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly original and intruiging read which will be of interest to scholars of human geography, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, cognitive science, information technology, and the communication sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45599687573742,"sku":"9781472450487","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781472450487.jpg?v=1721456119","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/geographies-of-disorientation-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
