COuld you take this conversation into a new thread please? This one is about my PhD.
PhD - Bushcraft Research
- Thread starter Paul Moseley
- Start date
Sorry Paul I thought that was happening.
"Areas that I am researching include the ways in which bushcraft presents the natural world to participants."
I might be wrong however I think Bushcrafters in the loosest terms possible are trying to see the world in the same way as indigenous peoples. I think Tristan Gooley's books on natural navigation are maybe the best example I can come up with of what I mean.
Dr Lynne Kelly's latest book has arrived so will be reading that as soon as possible. Blurb below:
“Let this series begin the discussion.' - Bruce Pascoe 'An act of intellectual reconciliation.' - Lynette Russell Songlines are an archive for powerful knowledges that ensured Australia's many Indigenous cultures flourished for over 60,000 years. Much more than a navigational path in the cartographic sense, these vast and robust stores of information are encoded through song, story, dance, art and ceremony, rather than simply recorded in writing. Weaving deeply personal storytelling with extensive research on mnemonics, Songlines: The Power and Promise offers unique insights into Indigenous traditional knowledges, how they apply today and how they could help all peoples thrive into the future. This book invites readers to understand a remarkable way for storing knowledge in memory by adapting song, art, and most importantly, Country, into their lives. About the series: The First Knowledges books are co-authored by Indigenous and non-Indigenous writers; the series is edited by Margo Neale, senior Indigenous curator at the National Museum of Australia. Forthcoming titles include: Design by Alison Page & Paul Memmott (2021); Country by Bill Gammage & Bruce Pascoe (2021); Healing, Medicine & Plants (2022); Astronomy (2022); Innovation (2023).”
