Abstract
The study addresses two current issues in social geography: the modern reflection on the topic of agency and the possibility of introducing the notion of place agency. When discussing human-environment relations, geographers more often use the terms more-than-human or non-human beings and focus on the animal andplant worlds. However, the symmetrical or mutual relationship between humans and the natural environmentcan be linked to a question arises about the wider scope of the notion of place agency and understanding the phenomenon of place as an entity acting on its own rights.
Keywords: place, agency, sense of place, conversation with place
