Regional, migrant and global affinities to place in Seeds: A Permaculture Travel Memoir
Queensland Review, Vol.24(2), pp.253-270
2017
Abstract
This article explores the traces of an author's regional identity in a transnational travel memoir in which affinities to place are portrayed as pluralistic and fluid. It does so in order to explore the tenuous balance between ecocentric understanding of self within a community of 'earth others' on the one hand and fidelity to a regionally precise 'home' on the other.1 This constitutes an open-ended encounter with regionalism and 'site-fidelity' to destabilise the local/global binary. New understandings of foreign landscapes, places and cultures can be brokered upon a dialogue between those newly encountered landscape places, and the more intimately known regions from an individual's past
