'Through 2017/18, as the submissions for our thematic issue Landscapes: Heritage came together, it became apparent that a single issue would not be enough to contain the overwhelming number of responses that we received from Landscapes editor Drew Hubbell’s original call for contributions. Thus the editors decided to spread the contributions across two issues, which has been connected in the title for this issue, Volume 9, as Landscape: Heritage II. Volume 8 continues to surpass the download statistics for an individual issue of Landscapes, which is testimony to Drew’s sense of the importance of the topic. And yet this acknowledges too the talent and craft of current and previous editors Glen Phillips and John Ryan, as well as the enduring support of Executive Dean Professor Clive Barstow of the School of Arts and Humanities at ECU. It is these people who make the journal possible, and yet, ultimately it is the contributors who seasonally breathe life into Landscapes and the environmental humanities.' (Introduction)
'Animation adapted from literature, folk tales and ancient myths showcases diverse approaches towards reimagining elements of geographical landscapes as cultural identity. This paper aims to compare elements from Australian, Japanese and European animated works where geographical elements are used in order to recreate the original world of the literary work the animation is based on, where landscape defines the identity of the individuals and groups of enchanted animals and human custodians of the land and location. Case studies of Yoram Gross (Dot and the Kangaroo, 1977) Australia, Takahata Isao / Studio Ghibli (Racoon Wars Pom Poko, 1994) Japan and Marcell Jankovics (Song of the Miraculous Doe, 2002) Hungary will provide examples of the creative use of geographical elements to represent changing cultural landscapes and identities as portrayed in animation.'
