摘要: Policy analysis, both of a positivist and an interpretivist bent, often focuses on the explicit, formal language legislation. But policy meanings are also communicated through agency acts that take place in settings. In this essay I explore what we might learn for analysis seeing built spaces–that is, settings–as texts, specifically as stories.
