Description

Living with Water brings together sociologists, geographers, artists, writers, and poets to explore the ways in which water binds, immerses, and supports us.

Drawing from international research on river crossings, boat dwelling, wild swimming, sea fishing, and drought impacts, and navigating urban waters, glacial lagoons, barrier reefs, and disappearing tarns, the collection illuminates the ways that we live with and without water. It explores how we can think and write with water on land.

Water offers a way of attending to emerging and enduring social and ecological concerns and makes sense of them in lively and creative ways. By approaching Living with Water from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives, and drawing on research from around the world, this collection opens up discussions that reinvigorate and renew previously landlocked debates.
