Abstract: Welcome to Undercurrents. The papers in this year's volume converge on the theme of the representation and domination of Nature in Western culture. This theme reflects on the problem of how representational thinking, in the form of language, ideology, beliefs, or technology, mediates and filters the experience of the relationships between humans and the rest of Nature. When re-presented, Nature becomes separated, bounded and objectified, and therefore gives itself up as an object for domination.
