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.
