Livre - Landscape and power

When first published, Landscape and Power reshaped the direction of landscape studies, considering landscape not simply as an object to be seen or a text to be read, but as an instrument of cultural force, a central tool in the creation of a national and social identities. This edition adds not only a new preface, but also five new essays - from Edward Said, W.J.T. Mitchell, Jonathan Bordo, Michael Taussig, and Robert Pogue Harrison - extending the scope of the book in remarkable ways.
