Ruptured Landscapes : Landscape, Identity and Social Change Paperback / softback
Edited by Helen Soovali-Sepping, Hugo Reinert, Jonathan Miles-Watson
Part of the Landscape Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume breaks new ground in the study of landscapes, both rural and urban.
The innovative notion of this landscape collection is rupture.
The book explores the ways in which societal, economic and cultural changes are transforming the meanings and understandings of landscapes.
The text explores both how landscapes are contesting changes in society and changing society.
The volume combines empirically fine-grained accounts of landscape rupture, from different parts of the world, with a sustained effort to explore, rethink and analytically extend the concept of rupture itself.
The book therefore combines fresh empirical data with innovative theoretical approaches to open understanding of landscape as a dynamic, living entity subject to abrupt change and unpredictable disruptions.
Through this dual reflection the volume is able to provide a powerful demonstration of the possibilities that are available for human action, social change and material landscape to combine.
