Chapter 2, "Theorising sense of place" begins with an overview of both place and space in order to clarify the distinction between these two central concepts which are sometimes confused. It will then move to a discussion of sense of place and its pertinence in a range of disciplines, each of which offers its own take on the concept in relation to its own disciplinary focus. In doing so, it will discuss the relationship between sense of place and "spirit of place". This discussion can be seen as foreshadowing later chapters in the book which address the recontextualisation (Bernstein, 2000) of these disciplines as subjects, curriculums and programmes in educational contexts. Finally, this chapter will address and critique the notion of "placelessness" or "a placeless world". [For the complete volume, "Sense of Place, Identity and the Revisioning of Curriculum.
