- Description
- The theoretical and methodological approaches presented in this chapter are grounded in empirical research that explores the role affect and emotion play in processes of children’s place-making in areas of rapid change, more specifically the peri-urban development occurring in Melbourne, Australia’s southeastern growth corridor. While this is a project located in a specific time and place, the issues and challenges raised speak more broadly to geographical work that seeks to address the complexities of everyday life and what it means to critically engage with the tacit and embodied sets of knowledge imbued in place. In considering what comprises children’s geographies, such an embodied approach can tell much about the making of meaningful places and the significance of the noncognitive, affective, and emotional processes in shaping ideas of social relations, notions of belonging and exclusion, and home places. Researchers have pointed out that the methodological framing of children’s geographies has had a significant influence on the subject matter and empirical material collected. Creative approaches make possible new ways to consider the everyday lives of children. Recent geographical research has turned to the experiential and the performative to try and capture the messiness and complexity of daily life. Within this broader research agenda, work on sound makes an important contribution.
