Landscape Citizenships, featuring work by academics from North
America, Europe, and the Middle East, extends the growing body of
thought and research in landscape democracy and landscape justice.
Landscape, as a milieu of situated everyday practice in which
people make places and places make people in an inextricable
relation, is proving a powerful concept for conceiving of politics
and citizenships as lived, dialogic, and emplaced. Grounded in
discourses of ecological, environmental, watershed, and bioregional
citizenships, this edited collection evaluates belonging through
the idea of landscape as landship which describes substantive,
mutually constitutive relations between people and place. With a
strong international focus across 14 chapters, it delves into key
topics such as marginalization, indigeneity, globalization,
politics, and the environment, before finishing with an epilogue
written by Kenneth R. Olwig. This volume will appeal to scholars
and activists working in citizenship studies, migration, landscape
studies, landscape architecture, ecocriticism, and the many
disciplines which converge around these topics, from design to
geography, anthropology, politics, and much more.
- Provides timely and interdisciplinary critical theory across
landscape, utopian studies, environment, philosophy and cultural
studies - Written in a highly accessible, original and engaging
tone by a leading academic and theorist at the Bartlett -
Illustrated with 40 black and white images interspersing the text.
Since the turn of the millennium, there has been a burgeoning
interest in, and literature of, both landscape studies and food
studies. Landscape describes places as relationships and processes.
Landscapes create people's identities and guide their actions and
their preferences, while at the same time are shaped by the actions
and forces of people. Food, as currency, medium, and sustenance, is
a fundamental part of those landscape relationships. This volume
brings together over fifty contributors from around the world in
forty profoundly interdisciplinary chapters. Chapter authors
represent an astonishing range of disciplines, from agronomy,
anthropology, archaeology, conservation, countryside management,
cultural studies, ecology, ethics, geography, heritage studies,
landscape architecture, landscape management and planning,
literature, urban design and architecture. Both food studies and
landscape studies defy comprehension from the perspective of a
single discipline, and thus such a range is both necessary and
enriching. The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is intended
as a first port of call for scholars and researchers seeking to
undertake new work at the many intersections of landscape and food.
Each chapter provides an authoritative overview, a broad range of
pertinent readings and references, and seeks to identify areas
where new research is needed-though these may also be identified in
the many fertile areas in which subjects and chapters overlap
within the book.

Landscape and Agency explores how landscape, as an idea, a visual
medium and a design practice, is organized, appropriated and framed
in the transformation of places, from the local to the global. It
highlights how the development of the idea of agency in landscape
theory and practice can fundamentally change our engagement with
future landscapes. Including a wide range of international
contributions, each illustrated chapter investigates the many ways
in which the relationship between the ideas and practices of
landscape, and social and subjective formations and material
processes, are invested with agency. They critically examine the
role of landscape in processes of contemporary urban development,
environmental debate and political agendas and explore how these
relations can be analysed and rethought through a dialogue between
theory and practice.
