ABSTRACT
A girl in the forest listens to the sound of groundwater through a drill hole. In the calving land, a reindeer herder measures, by listening to the sound of a falling stone, how deep the hole is that frames the discourse of his herd’s future. The director of a prospecting company listens to an alien sound from below that appears for him as science fiction. While mining prospectors claim ownership to the future landscape, this chapter introduces counter prospecting to return to the landscape and its people the core questions of development and the ways to answer them.
