Summary:

Exploring John Berger's political and creative praxis for scholarship on space, place, landscape and spatial experience, Ben Garlick and Dubravka Sekulic critically engage with his work as a writer, critic, collaborator, playwright, filmmaker and artist. The contributors connect Berger's work to cultural geography, including through a photo essay that articulates personal encounters with place, as well as discussion of his notion of "confabulation" and what it offers for writing cultural geographies. Each chapter delves into themes like Berger's interest in questions of representation, migration, ethics and the limits of political action. Garlick and Sekulic underline Berger's enduring relevance and resonance for contemporary academic, conceptual and worldly developments. In doing so, contributors - hailing from both within and beyond the 'discipline' of geography - emphasise and celebrate the value of cross-disciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and experimentation that crosses boundaries, begets conversations, and offers novel insights into our lived worlds and their processes.
