The study of landscape and place has become an increasingly fertile
realm of inquiry in the humanities and social sciences. In this new
book of essays, selected from presentations at the first annual
meeting of the Society for Philosophy and Geography, scholars
investigate the experiences and meanings that inscribe urban and
suburban landscapes. Gary Backhaus and John Murungi bring
philosophy and geography into a dialogue with a host of other
disciplines to explore a fundamental dialectic: while our
collective and personal activity modifies the landscape, in turn,
the landscape modifies human identities, and social and
environmental relations. Whether proposing a peripatetic politics,
conducting a sociological analysis of building security systems, or
critically examining the formation of New York City's municipal
parks, each essay sheds distinctive light on this fascinating and
engaging aspect of contemporary environmental studies.
Text and detailed drawings follow the planning and construction of a magnificent Gothic cathedral in the imaginary French town of Chutreaux during the thirteenth century.
