Abstract
Why site? Why not place? There is so much attention to place, to its significance, to its character, atmospheres, and authenticity. Place, as a coalescence of diverse factors and presences considered to be meaningful, is the holy grail of phenomenology, the object of fascination of cultural anthropologists. Why site, with its evocations of chaos, and half-made-up-ness? It is always worthwhile to turn to definitions for some measure of each of these words, at least in the English language.
