ASSIGNMENT
Choose a physical location in your life that you consider to have profound meaning for you – this could be anywhere from the place of worship you attend, to a location you often go with friends/family, to a location in your own home.
Consider why you consider that undifferentiated space to be a place, a space imbued with meaning. In what ways has the process of place-making turned that space into a place-world, in Basso’s terms?
In your paper, identify at least one symbol, norm, value, and tradition that turns the space you choose into a place. Define why each element is an example of a symbol, norm, value, or tradition, and how it functions for your social group.
Choose a physical location in your life that you consider to have profound meaning for you. Then explain in what ways has the process of place-making turned that space into a place-world, in Basso’s terms?
