"Place is not only coadunative but also...deconstructive -- deconstructive of oppositions that it brings and holds together within its own ambience. These oppositions include binary pairs of terms that have enjoyed hegemonic power in Western epistemology and metaphysics. I am thinking of such dichotomies as subject and object, self and other, formal and substantive, mind and body, inner and outer, perception and imagination (or memory), and nature and culture themselves."
-- Edward S. Casey. 1997. "How to get from space to place in a fairly short stretch of time: Phenomenological prolegomena" (36)
