Abstract

This article explores how place-based learning and the development of landscape literacies unfold in a place suffused with a complex set of risks resulting from inter-operating and intersecting sociohistorical, political and environmental factors. By analysing assemblages of images and accompanying texts produced through a photovoice process undertaken by co-researchers in an informal settlement in South Africa’s Cape Flats, we show that residents are embedded in an ongoing process of embodied place-connectedness that has extensive pedagogical impact. We suggest that the learning that takes place in this harmscape may enable residents’ survival at the cost of allowing for either hope or the possibility of transformative change.

生活在洪水中:人类世危害景观中的基于地点的学习

本文探讨了基于地点的学习和景观文化的发展是如何在一个充满复杂风险的地方展开的，这些风险是由相互作用和交叉的社会历史、政治和环境因素造成的。通过分析由共同研究人员在南非开普平原的一个非正式定居点进行的光声过程中产生的图像和随附文本的组合，我们表明，居民被嵌入到一个持续的具体化的地方联系过程中，这一过程具有广泛的教学影响。我们认为，在这种有害环境中进行的学习可能会以允许希望或变革性变化的可能性为代价，使居民能够生存。
