Landscape is now on the agenda in a new way. The increasing
interest in justice, power and the political landscape expresses a
sea change occurring in the meaning of landscape itself, from
landscape as scenery to landscape as polity and place. As Lionella
Scazzosi argues "The meaning of the term 'landscape' has become
broader than that of a view or panorama, which characterized many
national protection laws and policies until the middle of the 20th
century, and that of environment or nature, to which it has often
been limited during the recent years of environmentalist battles."
This is reflected in the new European Landscape Convention, for
which: "'Landscape' means an area, as perceived by people." The
tide thus has turned towards J. B. Jackson's view of landscape as
not "a scenic or ecological entity but as a political or cultural
entity, changing in the course of history." It is in this
socio-political context that it becomes necessary to consider the
role of power, and the importance of justice, in the shaping of the
landscape as an area of practice and performance with both cultural
and environmental implications. This book was previously published
as two special issues of Landscape Research.
