Hey Greg, I think you're on to something there. We need more reading in this class like we need a hole in the head (reading this, Paul?) but this E.S. Casey guy wrote a paper called "Between Geography and Philosophy: What Does It Mean to Be in the Place-World?" that is very much along the same lines as what you're talking about... about the ways that people don't just produce places, but that we carry places around with us and they are part of our identity. He spends perhaps 1/4 of that paper being just a little bit full of crap, but it is, on the whole, pretty interesting.
