ABSTRACT
Landscape research has seen a burgeoning of interest in notions of 'affect', 'doing', 'performance' and 'practice' in the past decade or so. This chapter explores them within the range of work dealing with what has come to be termed more-than-representational theories. It explains offerings from humanities and social sciences literature that touch upon 'more-than-representational theories', before moving on to account for what such an approach to landscape may involve. The chapter offers some examples of how these theoretical approaches have been applied, noting in particular innovative methods that have emerged, before finishing with a nod to future directions. It argues that this theoretical turn has firmed up and fleshed out a series of longer standing assumptions that had already rendered landscapes affective, embodied, sensuous and material. Researchers within the field of landscape studies need to continue to shape this theoretical terrain and experiment with methodological innovation.
