Using several case studies in Australia, the author uses Max Weber’s approach to rationalisation to understand the different ways coasts have been interpreted throughout modern history. While today, coastal places are known for their aspects of lifestyle or adventure, their histories, underpinned by colonialism and industrialization, are vastly different. The author examines the delicate dichotomy between the alternative experiences the coast provides today, versus the ideals and values imposed upon it in times gone by. The author makes an ethical argument about the ways in which we use and experience the coast today will adversely affect the lives of future generations in an attempt to generate further discussion amongst students and scholars of the sociology of place, as well as coastal managers and stakeholders. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | coast; sociology of the coast; beaches; history of the coast; sociology of the coast; Australian beach hi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-48680-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-69544-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-48680-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
