Biography and the experience of place in the context of contemporary events. An invitation to reflection

Abstract

The article is a reflection on the meaning of place in biography in the context of contemporary culture and recent global events - the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which frame biographical experience. In relation to the first aspect, the features of contemporary culture invalidating the meaning of place as a fixed point of reference in biography are indicated. In turn, the experience of the pandemic and the indirect experience of war in Ukraine are analyzed as factors forcing a (re)definition of the relationship between place and biography and a reworking of experiences formatted by modernity. The article is a preliminary proposal to face this issues. They require systematic exploration also in the field of biographical research.
