Even as the global economy of the twenty-first century continues its
dramatic and unpredictable transformations, the landscapes it leaves in
its wake bear the indelible marks of their industrial past. Whether in
the form of abandoned physical structures, displaced populations, or
ecological impacts, they persist in memory and lived experience across
the developed world. This collection explores the affective and
"more-than-representational" dimensions of post-industrial landscapes,
including narratives, practices, social formations, and other phenomena.
Focusing on case studies from across Europe, it examines both the
objective and the subjective aspects of societies that, increasingly,
produce fewer things and employ fewer workers.
