| Summary: | The Companion contains thirty-nine original contributions from leading scholars within the field, which have been divided into four parts, experiencing landscape, landscape, culture and heritage, landscape, society and justice and design and planning for landscape. Topics covered range from phenomenological approaches to landscape, to the consideration of landscape as a repository of human culture, from ideas of identity and belonging, to issues of power and hegemony and from discussions of participatory planning and design to the call for new imaginaries in a time of global and environmental crisis. Each contribution explores the future development of different conceptual and theoretical approaches, as well as recent empirical contributions to knowledge and understanding. Collectively, they encourage dialogue across disciplinary barriers and reflection upon the implications of research findings for local, national and international policy in relation to landscape. This Companion provides up-to-date critical reviews of state of the art perspectives across this multifaceted field, embracing disciplines such as anthropology, archaeology, cultural studies, geography, landscape planning, landscape architecture, countryside management, forestry, heritage studies, ecology and fine art. |
