Fermented landscapes

Following theoretical trajectories in geography and Science and Technology Studies that explore more-than-human relationships, I Fermented Landscapes: Lively Processes of Socio-environmental Transformation i edited by Colleen C. Myles uses the process of fermentation as a tool to investigate social, cultural, and political changes of different environments. By investigating the blending of cultivation and (socio-)cultural practices, various chapters help to illuminate fermentation's role in the symbiosis of human-environment relations. Organized into three broad parts, the introductory chapters conceptualize the role of fermentation in landscape change, the second section empirically details landscapes of fermentation, and the last section ruminates about the link between "fermentation" and "landscapes".
