33. I have had occasion this year to facilitate the qualitative methods seminar for our graduate students, and have been reveling in the chance to catch up on methodological statements and problematics, and to find post-hoc rationalization for much of the work I am trying to do these days. I must publically thank my colleague Patricia Ehrkamp for her help in negotiating the breadth of that literature.

In that sense, I always have been enamored of Steve Daniels' notion of landscapes as duplicitous-I think it is one of the most important concepts in the historiography of landscape as an epistemology.
