Besides it mundane acceptation – living somewhere, at such or such address, in this neighbourhood or the other -, the concept of “abiding”, living somewhere, reminds us of the relationship humans have with the places he has spent his existence and his constantly renewed relation with oikoumene, the earthly residence of the spirit. “Abiding” intermingles the notions of space and time. An in-depth study of this concept leads to an anthropological perspective on geography and history, and the realisation that humans are creatures of both speech and creation. The authors of this book have collated contributions from a wide range of disciplines (architecture, sociology, geography, urbanism, ethnology, philosophy…) for a comprehensive look at this concept.
