ABSTRACT
The fundamentals of nature are space and time. These are not utterly disparate, of course, because they can be linked by motion. With regard to the landscape habitat, then, humans have two basic phenomenological options: Move across it, or stay put. This chapter explores certain instances of each fundamental possibility in the Squam region. In precise terms, this may be called an experiential phenomenology of movement and stasis with regard to a particular sociohistorical environment. Movement entails some degree of wayfinding via processual self-location; stasis entails relatively prolonged self-centering. I want to explore wayfinding and self-centering in the social geography of Squam.
