Human life is intimately woven into place. Through nations and
homelands, monuments and sacred sites it becomes the anchorage
point for ethnic, cultural and national identities. Yet it is also
place that becomes the battlefield, war zone, mass grave,
desecrated site and destroyed landscape in the midst or aftermath
of cultural wounding. Much attention has been given to the impact
of trauma and violence on human lives across generations, but what
of the spaces in which it occurs? How does culturally prescribed
violence impact upon place? And how do the non- human species with
whom we coexist also suffer through episodes of conflict and
violence? By identifying violence in place as a crisis of our
times, and by encouraging both the witnessing and the diagnosing of
harm, this book reveals the greater effects of cultural wounding.
It problematises the habit of separating human life out from the
ecologies in which it is held. If people and place are bound
through kinship, whether through necessity and survival, or choice
and abiding love, then wounding is co- terminus. The harms done to
one will impact upon the other. Case studies from Australia, North
and South America, Europe and the Pacific, illustrate the impact of
violence in place, while supporting a campaign for methodologies
that reveal the fullness of the relational bond between people and
place. The book will appeal to students and practitioners alike,
with interests in cultural and human geography, anthropology,
environmental humanities and moral ecology.
