Studies of place, space, non-place and other locations in context of modernity. 

‘From the late 18th century onwards, it is no longer from the practice of community but from being a wanderer that the instinct of fellow-feeling is derived. Thus an essential isolation and silence and loneliness become the carriers of nature and community of the rigours, the cold abstinence, the selfish ease of ordinary society.’ 

Raymond Williams from ’The Country and the City’ (1973)
