Abstract

The productive concept that has principally informed development of ground untruthing in practice is the critical tour guide drawn from the section on Traits of the Tour and Tour-Guide. In this section, the critical guiding practices of Wrights & Sites, Tim Brennan and PLATFORM provided rich material for exploring how new kinds of participation in tours might involve people in witnessing or feeling ‘the weight of things and one’s own place in them.’422 In contemporary tours we might describe witnessing ‘with your own eyes’ as a form of topographical surveying that involves moving between small, detailed finds and larger-scale overviews of a place.
