A Place Belongs Forever”: Telling Stories for the Personal Place Project
Stories people tell about places reflect identities of both, and it is suggested here that any understanding of their constitutive links should begin with personal accounts. The purpose of this article is to describe a format (the Personal Place Project) within which personal place-based stories are formulated and told, to provide illustrative vignettes that address these engagements, to direct attention to themes that arise in these descriptions…

Urban Spaces of American Indians in the Exiles
Released in 1961, The Exiles is a low‐budget docudrama that chronicles the lives of three American Indians over a period of twelve hours in a downtown Los Angeles neighborhood in the late 1950s. Contemporary neorealist filmmaking appears to have influenced the film, whereas itsg narrative is ethnographic in form. An examination of the film and its dialogue reveals the ways in which American Indians who recently migrated from their reservation to …
Confronting the Geopolitical Aesthetic: Fredric Jameson,The Perfumed Nightmareand the Perilous Place of Third Cinema
This essay explores the conceptual limitations within Fredric Jameson's notion of the geopolitical aesthetic through an analysis of Jameson's now classic reading of The Perfumed Nightmare; this film is central to his concept of the utopic character of film more generally and, moreover, to his argument on the embeddedness of Third World representations within a global, capitalist system. We suggest that, although Jameson acknowledges the underlyin…

Weir(d) Sex: Representation of Gender-Environment Relations in Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock and Gallipoli
Soft images of pubescent women scaling the dizzy heights of a massive phallic rock in turn-of-the-century rural Victoria, and young men matching physical prowess in the indomitable Western Australian desert as World War I rages in Europe, provide foci for two of Peter Weir's most successful early films, Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) and Gallipoli (1981). In both these films the physical landscape is simultaneously integrated with and contrasted t…
Sun city as Suburban landscape
Sun City is a suburban community for retired people in Arizona. The built and designed landscape is examined to discover how the nature of the population has influenced it, but the community shows surprisingly few variants from other surburban landscapes
Decision-Making within a Constrained Population: Residential Choice by Black Urban Households
The creation and perpetuation of the social spatial mosaic of a metropolitan area in the United States is a result of thousands of individual migrations. Each of these moves involved a decision-making process that included elements unique to each household. Embodied in each decision were personally unique goals, needs, and aspirations, as well as particular constraints that may have qualified or limited the realization of these desires. Virtually…
