Edward Casey’s The Fate of Place offers an exhaustive study of place and invention, from the fixed moment of invention (thesis) to the deterritorialization of place proposed by Deleuze and Guattari. Early in his study, Casey draws attention to Aristotle’s rejection of place’s relationship to movement (despite Aristotle’s emphasis on accumulating a considerable amount of information to move through). “Since a minimal requirement of place is to be selfsame—to be the same place for different things located in it—Aristotle must add to the first definition the rider that place cannot itself be changing or moving: it must be ‘unchangeable’” (55).
He calls the city a fighter and lover, noting how it is “strong” and has always “recovered” from whatever gets it down. Davis follows up this introduction with a quick beat and jump to the glorious areas of the city that have overcome “whatever” might have once left them broken or neglected. Davis sings “hello” to the city and maps his favorite sites that have resisted these unprovoked and unwarranted attacks. He lists strolling through Belle Isle Park and visiting Greektown after dark as encounters that will make the young spirited once again after experiencing troubled times.
