Ethnogeomorphology

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This paper draws upon concepts of emergence, connectivity and space-time relationality to develop an ethnogeomorphic outlook upon biophysical-and-cultural (living) landscapes. This perspective is grounded through ethnographic case studies with Indigenous communities in Australia and Canada that examine knowledge production and concerns for environmental negotiation and decision-making. Extending beyond a traditional approach to ethnosciences, ethnogeomorphology seeks to move beyond cross-disciplinary scientific disciplines (and their associated epistemologies) towards a shared (if contested) platform of knowledge transfer and communication that reflects multiple ways of connecting to landscapes. Potential applications of ethnogeomorphology as an integrating theme of geographic inquiry are explored, highlighting important tensions in the knowledge production process.
