Trapped between the map and reality

Maria Theresa O'shea

The religious concept of geopiety for Tuan is a ‘special complex of relationships between man and nature’, as opposed to the ‘broad range of emotional bonds between man and his terrestrial home’ meant by Wright.22 As Tuan points out, attachment to a place might not be so strong if it were not for the fact of exile. The attractions of home are often only apparent when compared to the new host environment. Even Kurdish nomads, often assumed to be incapable of strong attachment to a place, are accepted by Tuan as capable of a powerful attachment to a heartland.
