Beschreibung:
Despite recent estimates that there are currently 10 million people in the UK suffering from phobias, there is a substantial and conspicuous gap in existing academic literature and research on this topic. This book addresses this gap in relation to geography literature, but also extending beyond this field to connect with a wide range of academics, health professionals and phobic 'others' whose ideas are (re)formed by fear.
Contents: Introduction: notes on stories, selves and spaces; What in the world is agoraphobia?; 'Joking Apart...' the negotiation of group boundaries through humour; Fear and trembling in the mall: Kierkegaard and consumer/consuming spaces; 'Putting on a Face': Sartre, Goffman and agoraphobic anxiety in social space; A phenomenology of fear: Merleau-Ponty and agoraphobic life-worlds; Pregnant pauses: agoraphobic embodiment and the limits of (im)pregnability; 'All in the Mind?' analysing the subject of 'Self-Help'; Conclusion: re/solution of spatial identities; Bibliography; Index.
