Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together literary and cultural studies scholars, historians, artists and creative writers, this collection examines the different ways in which human beings respond to, debate and interact with landscape. While the essays most often begin with the broadly literary - the memoir, the travelogue, the novel, poetry - the contributors approach the topic in diverse and innovative ways. Taken together, the essays interrogate important issues about how we live now and might live in the future.

Inhaltsangabe

Part 1 Peripheral Cultures: 'You're not in Ireland now': landscape and loss
in Irish women's poetry. At some distance from the Scottish mainland: urban
television producers and Hebridean Islands. Part 2 Memory and Mobility:
Placing affect: remembering strangers at roadside crash shrines. Speed and
stillness: driving in the countryside. Part 3 Suburbs and Estates: Doomed
developments in the desert: re-reading land development, the American
family and ordinary places in a time of 'cruel optimism'. A child in the
suburb. At once irrational and objective: photography's construction of
place. Part 4 Literature and Place: 'Other than they were': fair places
full of folk. Great plains' vernacular: why spatial idiolect matters. 'The
last pure place on earth': Antarctic affect in Jenny Diski's Skating to
Antarctica and Sara Wheeler's Terra Incognita. Plots: the narrative of
place in contemporary nature writing. Part 5 Sensescapes: Dancing -
worlding the beach: revealing connections through phenomenological movement
inquiry. Listening at home. In-between places: envisioning and accessing
new landscapes.
