Below are the comments from my recent presentation of my work. I’m not putting them on here to blow my own trumpet mind…they prove really useful for my further development:

“Eden and the transformative processes are rich. Social, economic and industrial analyses,are useful to understand the different powers that drive the cycles that you identify. Nice idea about forced and organic transformations - external inputs and internal. Good use of the blog to background the work. And good reference back to Foucault. the move to greenfield and brownfield is interesting now and your model of time for your cycles. Although you say that greenfield might be new or fresh but surely this is relative to your time and the apparent beauty of a space. Dartmoor has been preserved at it is now but it used to be a forest before they cut the trees down! but this insist on not reforesting it. So Dartmoor is brownfield really but people treat it as green. Your idea of people making things brown is great though because it says that the model of time is relative to the individual.”
