The articulation between persistence and change is relevant to a
great number of different disciplines. It is particularly central
to the study of urban and rural forms in many different fields of
research, in geography, archaeology, architecture and history.
Resilience puts forward the idea that we can no longer be truly
satisfied with the common approaches used to study the dynamics of
landscapes, such as the palimpsest approach, the regressive method
and the semiological analysis amongst others, because they are
based on the separation between the past and the present, which
itself stems from the differentiation between nature and society.
This book combines spatio-temporalities, as described in
archeogeography, with concepts that have been developed in the
field of ecological resilience, such as panarchy and the adaptive
cycle. Thus revived, the morphological analysis in this work
considers landscapes as complex resilient adaptive systems. The
permanence observed in landscapes is no longer presented as the
endurance of inherited forms, but as the result of a dynamic that
is fed by this constant dialogue between persistence and change.
Thus, resilience is here decisively on the side of dynamics rather
than that of resistance.
