This is why he suggests a “holistic theory of place” that will consider its “phenomenological, social, and natural/material” aspects (192).

Host Alastair Gordon explores the healing impact of good design in an increasingly complex and troubled world. In his Poetics, perhaps the most influential work on art ever written, he makes it clear that art is a moral issue, since it deals with human character. Her meticulously arranged assemblages suggest new readings of familiar objects, offering a respectful nod to the past, yet grounding the viewer in the present moment. These new objets d’art, vaguely familiar and recognisable at first glance, are displayed within a gallery environment, removing them from their humble domestic beginnings and practical motivations into reworked delicate small-scale contemporary textile sculptures. The beautiful and terrifying inescapability of human-nature relations; reconceived as the deletion of nature owing to its lack of independence that places humans in the spotlight; and the overriding sense of no longer requiring ‘nature’ in light of our understanding of the damage that has been done, the dark ecology of the relations of organisms in the environment.I will examine how the dynamics of settlement and locomotion in Riley's text inform its digressive reflection on the place-bound character of lyric subjectivity, which in turn opens on to a critical dialogue with the conventions and legacies of the pastoral mode. This quality is deepened because Wordsworth then contemplates how he owes to “these beauteous forms” memories of when he was last here, recollections that offer him “tranquil restoration” and lighten “the weary weight of all this unintelligible world. The author of Listening In: Music, Mind, and the Modernist Narrative, he has published widely on literary representations of place and on the relations between music and literature.

The normally hidden internal surface textures are revealed, to capture and preserve lived moments and memories. These are the topological: a science of place and referential dimension to that which is “outside” the poem; the tropological: a fi gurative discourse that functions like ecosystems themselves; the entropological: where direct materials form a method of poetry; and the ethnological: where wild landscapes are investigated as societies “peopled” by their components, together with their distinctive characteristics and relations to one another.
