Abstract:
The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to explore some aspects of representation, that is, the ways in which human beings imagine, interpret, signify, and give meaning to both the material and the social aspects of their life on earth. In particular it investigates representation in relation to the sub-discipline of social geography, and in the context of a distinction called meaning/matter. Meaning turns to matter, and matter turns to meaning, including the human body in-between.
