(In)scribing Body/Landscape Relations

Bronwyn Davies is professor of education at James Cook University in the far north of Australia. She has played a major role in translating the philosophical principles of poststructuralist theory into practice.

Davies has given us a lush and exciting exploration of what is possible when body and landscape are thought and written together instead of in opposition.
