Synopsis Voices and Places by : Lene Asp
This dissertation challenges the conventional narrative of Danish colonial history by critiquing the predominant reliance on textual records and archives as primary carriers of historical knowledge. Through case studies focused on landscape and landscaping practices, it offers an alternative approach to understanding the past by actively engaging with material heritage in what is conceptualized as a vibrant archive. Utilizing interdisciplinary and practice-led methodologies, from cultural and memory studies to ecocriticism, the research examines and engages with colonial history through case studies in dialog with contemporary interlocutors. Emphasizing the dynamic nature of landscapes as vibrant archives-in-the-making, building on Jane Bennett’s concept of vibrant matter, the dissertation underscores their capacity to both shape and be shaped by diverse actors and forces. This perspective prioritizes ethical considerations in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage, aiming to foster inclusivity and resilience in shaping future landscapes. As landscapes embody multiple pasts that transcend national borders, they reveal a global network of interconnected material heritage. However, prevailing historical understandings often prioritize certain discursive national formations, limiting a comprehensive grasp of global connectivity. By exploring contemporary investments in constructing new relational pasts, the dissertation seeks to broaden the analytical scope and challenge such dominant narratives. Through an exploration of colonial trauma and the enduring impacts of historical violence, the research delves into the entangled relationships between past, present, and future. Additionally, the dissertation investigates the role of sound recordings in creating immersive narratives and enhancing the communication of findings, offering insights into preservation efforts, cultural revitalization projects, and community-led initiatives in a contemporary context. Throughout the research, there is a consistent advocacy for a more just and inclusive approach to caring for the colonial archive within the context of colonial exploitation and ecological crisis. This emphasis on interconnectedness across social, environmental, and cultural dynamics highlights the urgent need to reckon with colonial legacies to promote social and environmental justice. Denna avhandling utmanar den konventionella berättelsen om dansk kolonialhistoria genom att kritisera den rådande särställning som skrivna dokument och arkiv har i förmedlingen av historisk kunskap. Via fallstudier som fokuserar på landskap och landskapspraktiker erbjuder den ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt för att förstå det förflutna genom att aktivt engagera sig med materiellt arv i det som konceptualiseras som ett vibrerande arkiv. Med hjälp av tvärvetenskapliga och praxisbaserade metoder, från kultur- och minnesstudier till ekokritik, undersöks kolonialhistorien i fallstudier i dialog med samtida samtalspartner. Genom att betona landskapens dynamiska natur som vibrerande arkiv under uppbyggnad, med utgångspunkt i Jane Bennetts begrepp vibrerande materia, framhåller avhandlingen deras förmåga att både forma och formas av olika aktörer och krafter. Detta perspektiv lyfter fram etiska överväganden i bevarandet och tolkningen av kulturellt arv, med målet att främja inkludering och resiliens i utformningen av framtida landskap. Eftersom landskap förkroppsligar flera skepnader av det förflutna som överskrider nationsgränser, vittnar de om ett globalt nätverk av sammanlänkat materiellt arv. Emellertid betonar rådande historiska förståelser ofta vissa diskursiva nationella formationer, vilket begränsar en heltäckande förståelse av en global sammanlänkning. Genom att utforska samtida ansatser att konstruera det förflutna som multipelt och relationellt, strävar avhandlingen efter att bredda den analytiska ramen och utmana sådana dominerande berättelser. Koloniala trauman och de bestående effekterna av historiskt våld utforskas, vilket leder till en fördjupad förståelse av de sammanflätade relationerna mellan förflutet, nutid och framtid. Dessutom undersöker avhandlingen ljudinspelningars roll i att skapa immersiva berättelser och förbättra kommunikationen av forskningsresultat, och erbjuder insikter i bevarandeinsatser, kulturella revitaliseringsprojekt och samhällsledda initiativ i en samtida kontext. Genomgående förespråkas i avhandlingen ett mer rättvist och inkluderande tillvägagångssätt när det gäller omsorgen om det koloniala arkivet inom ramen för kolonial exploatering och ekologisk kris. Denna betoning på sammanlänkning av sociala, miljömässiga och kulturella dynamiker framhäver det akuta behovet av att hantera det koloniala arvet för att främja social och miljömässig rättvisa.

Synopsis Ambient Literature by : Tom Abba
This book considers how a combination of place-based writing and location responsive technologies produce new kinds of literary experiences. Building on the work done in the Ambient Literature Project (2016–2018), this books argues that these encounters constitute new literary forms, in which the authored text lies at the heart of an embodied and mediated experience. The visual, sonic, social and historic resources of place become the elements of a live and emergent mise-en-scène. Specific techniques of narration, including hallucination, memory, history, place based writing, and drama, as well as reworking of traditional storytelling forms combine with the work of app and user experience design, interaction, software authoring, and GIS (geographical information systems) to produce ambient experiences where the user reads a textual and sonic literary space. These experiences are temporary, ambiguous, and unpredictable in their meaning but unlike the theatre, the gallery, or the cinema they take place in the everyday shared world. The book explores the potentiality of a new literary form produced by the exchange between location-aware cultural objects, writers and readers. This book, and the work it explores, lays the ground for a new poetics of situated writing and reading practices.

Synopsis Different Places, Different Voices by : Vivian Kinnaird
Different Places, Different Voices challenges Western feminist and post-colonial approaches in its analysis of the changing lives of women of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. Recognising the significance of place, this is a book informed by the voices of female geographers from the developing world. Twenty case studies present regional perspectives on urban and rural development, household reproduction and production and community organisation. The theoretical and contextual approach and the emphasis on location and positionality highlight the differences created by place to suggest other ways of seeing.

Synopsis Voices in the Evening by : Natalia Ginzburg
From one of Italy’s greatest writers, a stunning novel “filled with shimmering, risky, darting observation” (Colm Tóibín) After WWII, a small Italian town struggles to emerge from under the thumb of Fascism. With wit, tenderness, and irony, Elsa, the novel’s narrator, weaves a rich tapestry of provincial Italian life: two generations of neighbors and relatives, their gossip and shattered dreams, their heartbreaks and struggles to find happiness. Elsa wants to imagine a future for herself, free from the expectations and burdens of her town’s history, but the weight of the past will always prove unbearable, insistently posing the question: “Why has everything been ruined?”

Synopsis The Voices We Carry by : J. S. Park
Reclaim Your Headspace and Find Your One True Voice As a hospital chaplain, J.S. Park encountered hundreds of patients at the edge of life and death, listening as they urgently shared their stories, confessions, and final words. J.S. began to identify patterns in his patients’ lives—patterns he also saw in his own life. He began to see that the events and traumas we experience throughout life become deafening voices that remain within us, even when the events are far in the past. He was surprised to find that in hearing the voices of his patients, he began to identify his own voices and all the ways they could both harm and heal. In The Voices We Carry, J.S. draws from his experiences as a hospital chaplain to present the Voices Model. This model explores the four internal voices of self-doubt, pride, people-pleasing, and judgment, and the four external voices of trauma, guilt, grief, and family dynamics. He also draws from his Asian-American upbringing to examine the challenges of identity and feeling “other.” J.S. outlines how to wrestle with our voices, and even befriend them, how to find our authentic voice in a world of mixed messages, and how to empower those who are voiceless. Filled with evidence-based research, spiritual and psychological insights, and stories of patient encounters, The Voices We Carry is an inspiring memoir of unexpected growth, humor, and what matters most. For those wading through a world of clamor and noise, this is a guide to find your clear, steady voice.

Synopsis Voices, Places by : David Mason
"Mason reveals a glorious passion for literature, as well as an almost Whitmanesque openness to the ideas and emotions that inspire creative acts at all levels."―Library Journal (starred review) "An illuminating literary cartography with many fascinating ports of call.”―Kirkus Reviews "Mason expertly weaves the stories of great writers and places both ancient and new together into an imaginative literary odyssey."―Publishers Weekly “How are voices like places? They move through us as we move through them.” Celebrated poet David Mason explores surprising connections in geography and time, considering writers who traveled, who emigrated or were exiled, and who often shaped the literature of their homelands. He writes of seasoned travelers (Patrick Leigh Fermor, Bruce Chatwin, Joseph Conrad, Herodotus himself), and writers as far flung as Omar Khayyam, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, James Joyce, and Les Murray. In the end, he turns to his own native region, the American West, with Wallace Stegner, Edward Abbey, Robinson Jeffers, Belle Turnbull, and Thomas McGrath. These essays are about familiarity and estrangement, the pleasure and knowledge readers can gain by engaging with writers’ lives, their travels, their trials, and the homes they make for themselves.
