We are no longer updating the Research Digest. All content remains.
The Permaculture Research Digest has summaries of newly published permaculture-related research. All items are hyper-linked to the original publication.
The 'January 2013' archive contains 60 items published in 2012.
Items marked with a # have restricted public access, although abstracts are freely available.
Core to
permaculture is designing based on, and in harmony with, patterns
identified in nature. Yet, as is often highlighted, identifying, using,
and thinking through ‘natural’ patterns are problematic. This article
takes canonical geographical work on the social reception and
(re)production of nature as its starting point. It then outlines
permaculture as an ecosophical movement–an attempt to
reorientate collective subjectivities as ecological entities. While
discussion of Transition (with or without their permaculture heritage)
abounds in Geography, paying attention to the ecosophical, and ethical,
character of such movements is crucial to grasp their full significance.
