Beschreibung
This book explores the role and agency of stories and storytelling in understanding places and in revealing how places tell stories. It addresses themes of colonialism, more-than-human agency, environment, atmospheres, borders, dwelling, enchantment, haunting, care and hope, revealing the power of stories to make and unmake worlds. Contending with the ethical complexities of storytelling and the political implications of the stories that are shared and heard, it illuminates how some stories dominate ways of being and knowing while others are excluded and overlooked. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how stories can provide alternative, critical and progressive ways of knowing and encountering place.

“Stories are having their moment in the spotlight, and this collection is a shining example of the power and art of this earth-writing technique. Written with flair and penned by a collective of authors who have sharpened their craft together over many years, each of these stories of place are portals that transport us to different worlds, providing a cornucopia of inspiration for how we might write places anew.” (Professor David Bissell, Professor of Human Geography, University of Melbourne, Australia)
