Summary/Abstract: Rewers tackles two debates concerning key issues in the humanities today: 1) the axis that connects the stance of the researcher ‘close to death’ as well as close to birth, and 2) contemplation as a research activity and action. The concept of culturenature that Revers proposes would allow ecocultural studies to develop the ‘close to birth’ perspective, which requires an engaged stance. The main argument concerns discussion-in-action as a method of reconciling the contradiction in the representation of nature as opposed to what is cultural and human. Rewers offers concrete urban examples to point out the concrete benefits and difficulties related to verifying her proposition.
