Water Lore: Practice, Place and Poetics Roulire Camille
Located within the field of environmental humanities, this volume engages with one of the most pressing contemporary environmental challenges of our time: how can we shift our understanding and realign what water means to us? In these debates, rising sea levels compete against desertification; hurricanes and floods follow periods of prolonged drought. Water is increasingly at the centre of scientific and public debates about climate change.
From the paradisiac and pristine scenery of holiday postcards through to the devastated landscapes of post-tsunami news reports, images of waters surround us. As we continue to pollute, canalise and desalinate waters, the ambiguous nature of our relationship with these entities becomes visible. And while we continue to damage what most sustains us, collective precarity grows.Breaking down disciplinary boundaries, with contributions from
