Concept information

Preferred term

nonvisual geographies  

Definition(s)

  • The interpretation of nonvisual landscapes explores the role of sensory and perceptual modes other than vision in the construction of geographic space. This topic positions itself at the boundary between social theory and behavioral geography by examining the ways in which nonvisual modes of information acquisition and processing reflect geographic environments and in turn shape those same places by structuring the subjective understanding and behavior of people and their symbolic understanding of space.
