abstract

  • On account of a definition of geopoetics, Sarah de Leeuw y and Eric Magrane
    points to the "reading, writing, and performative practices" in which "earth always
    denotes much more than soils and waters, or the physical geographies of a planet"
    (2019, 148). Geopoetics, according to the author's view, is an attempt to "conceptualise
    and produce space and place anew, in part by recognising, respecting, and celebrating
    differences" (2019, 147). In the video essay presented here, we tried to put
    together some celebrated images of Abbas Kiarostami, to depict Iranian landscapes
    as this mentioned practice of geopoetics.
