Arcadia Updated delves into the concept of landscape as it is
shaped by the literary tradition and material works known as
pastoral. Referring to several of the tradition's works as well as
scholarly critiques, Fiskevold and Geelmuyden highlight how
individual landscape perception is primarily a cultural construct:
each individual may see a unique landscape based on personal
experiences, but simultaneously, landscape represents a tradition
of engaging with nature and land, which has been largely forgotten.
In re-engaging and connecting the practice of understanding
landscapes with the pastoral tradition, the authors establish a
common ground for treating landscape as an object of analysis in
landscape planning. Arcadia Updated contributes to the
methodological debate concerning landscape character assessment.
Including 30 black-and-white images, this book analyses how humans
engage with land organically, materially and communicatively. It
seeks to raise landscape awareness as both an individual and a
collective act of imagination. The practice of analysing landscapes
is an ongoing culture of reinterpreting the land as landscape in
response to society's development and technical progress. The role
of the landscape analyst is to interpret the contemporary world and
offer visual explanations of it. This book will be beneficial to
professional landscape planners as well as to academics and
students of landscape, literature and cultural studies. It provides
an essential contribution to the cross-disciplinarity of the
landscape discourse.
