Abstract
The only thing that is permanent is change. the hidden paradox in the relationship between permanence and change is that “all change implies that something is preserved”, and that “in all permanence there is some degree of change” (Jones 1991: 235). Within landscape research, this paradox has in multiple ways been structuring how we have come to understand and interpret both the material and symbolic aspects of landscapes.
