Place, landscape and experience

In this article place, landscape and experience are presented through an angle of everyday geography since that comprehension helps to reveal deeper layers of everyday life (if we are aware of the ways and manners that allow us to create and produce space), throughout its apparent banality and triviality. The basic assumption is that we produce and reproduce space in everyday life through social relations and all sorts of sociability. This is plausible due to human's nature: we have a body, we perceive landscapes, we inhabit places, we take refuge in our intimate territories, because, despite all differences, we are all humans. All along this paper we seek to distinguish in our argumentation the differences between the processes of spatialization as territory and spatialization as place by emphasizing place (which constantly faces itself with the notion of territory) as a basis for scale-related thought and action. Therefore, we aim to expand place's conceptual width surpassing its understanding as a localization apparatus. Lastly, we bring to light that 'scale' and 'scale-related thought' are primary geographical conditions such as 'to localize' and 'to situate' in the constitution of everyday geography. Therefore, this geography emerges and is constructed in everyday situations through localized and situated bodies, which are implicated in a differential spatiality and in an interior-exterior dialectics.
