From a horizon of case-studies in Western Australia, the study develops a lively dialogue with international critical toponymy theory and with older etymological approaches to place renaming and legitimation. The author shows how renaming raises fundamental questions of meaning, reference and cross-cultural equivalence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        Recognising the ‘sense of place’ values that accrue to placenames, Carter argues that placenames have a creative as well as discursive function: they are talking points that bring places into being. For this reason, to decolonize toponymy involves a postcolonial poetics. \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eNaming No Man’s Land\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         argues for a practical, community-shaped toponymic poetics that escapes from the binarist logic of imposition\/erasure, showing that, when the principle that ‘places are made after their stories’ is followed, new creative mechanisms of co-existence can emerge.
