Popis:	If more people are living with long term conditions, e.g. cancer, how can we think about the adaptations involved? Are there lessons from adaptation in environment policy and practice, e.g. in the writings of Wendell Berry (b. 1934) on scarred landscapes, and in the conceptualisation of ‘the Force Majeure’ articulated by Helen Mayer Harrison (1927-2018) and Newton Harrison (b.1932)? The author, a practice-led researcher and cultural producer, draws on his experience of cancer treatment and his use of art as a way to make hidden features visible. He relates this to the larger intersubjective and social questions of cancer as an overwhelming force affecting society. Approaches in art, including improvisation, are relevant to adaptation, a process that is necessary for living with cancer.
