Abstract: This paper offers a reinterpretation of the literature on place attachment by reconsidering its conceptual foundations—both place and attachment. First, it invites an alternative approach to place attachment rooted in a socio-anthropological perspective on attachments (Gomart & Hennion, 1999; Hennion, 2017; Stépanoff, 2024), rather than in a psychological framework. Second, following the recent spatial turn in consumer research (Castilhos et al., 2017; Chatzidakis et al., 2018), it proposes a conceptual framework for analysing socio-ecological transformation dynamics through the notion of territoire, as developed in French-speaking geography (Pachoud et al., 2022).
