Abstract

The present introductory article presents comparative readings of each of the four pairs of case study articles. In it, four respondents each offer an in-depth analysis of the connections between a pair of articles and their resonance for the volume as a whole. Each respondent also gestures towards productive avenues for further research which are opened up by the articles in their pair, offering up new directions for the ever-expanding field of space and place studies.
