ATTITUDES TOWARDS PLACE AND COMMUNITY: I am a cultural
sociologist/Americanist, and currently doing a comparative study of
the various attitudes towards localities (small town, suburb, city,
region, etc.) among Americans and Europeans, particularly Dutchmen.
My focus is especially on the diverse manifestations of a sense of
place and community in the broader context of processes of cultural
globalization on the one hand and those of cultural localization at
the other. I would like to contact scholars who share these
interests, with an emphasis on contemporary developments. Contact
