CHAPTER 08: LANDSCAPES - INTRODUCTION

The richness and diversity of rural landscapes in Europe is a distinctive feature of the continent. There is probably nowhere else where the signs of human interaction with nature in landscape are so varied, contrasting and localised. Despite the immense scale of socio-economic changes that have accompanied this century's wave of industrialisation and urbanisation in many parts of Europe, much of this diversity remains, giving distinctive character to countries, regions and local areas.

Landscapes can be divided into natural and cultural types. Chapter 9 is dedicated to the former by presenting a view on Europe's relatively small but valuable percentage of natural and semi-natural ecosystems. However, there are practically no areas in Europe that can be considered 'natural' in the sense that there is no human influence whatsoever, and few where there is no human presence. Even the Nordic subalpine birchwoods, or the tundra and taiga of Russia, which are often thought of as 'untouched', have been subject to some human impact. Other areas, such as the openfields or bocage landscapes have sometimes replaced former forest landscapes and are not only influenced by but are in fact the very result of centuries-old human landuse. The term 'cultural landscapes' characterises this distinctive interrelationship between nature and people and encompasses a group of mostly rural landscapes. By prevailing over the remaining natural types of land-cover, cultural landscapes play a significant role for the state of Europe's environment. The interrelationship between nature and people varies from place to place, due to differences in physical conditions, such as topography, climate, geology, soils and biotic factors, and the type of human use or occupancy that can range from minimal to intensive. Landuse patterns have evolved around two significant factors: the type and accessibility of natural resources and the dynamics of demographic processes. Both factors are closely interlinked through a network of economic, ecological, social and cultural components. By acting as visual documents for the complex nature of these linkages, landscapes often represent aesthetic values in the perception of our environment.

The complexity of factors that contribute to the shaping of Europe's cultural landscapes is reflected in the diversity of values that are attached to them. Since these differences of perception set natural limits to any generalised approach of landscape evaluation, this chapter will only highlight some of the most obvious environmental aspects of cultural landscapes. Despite the many close links between this chapter and that on 'nature and wildlife' (Chapter 9), the values and problems of cultural landscapes are so much more based on economic and social aspects that they need to be set distinctively apart. However, conserving landscapes also helps protect the species and habitats within them and, taking action to protect species and habitats, contributes to safeguarding the richness and diversity of the landscape.

This chapter reviews the values which are attached to cultural landscapes, presents a typology of European landscapes, explains why landscapes are currently under stress, and describes landscape conservation measures underway at national and international levels. Given the existing discrepancy between the large variety of European landscapes and the lack of internationally harmonised approaches to describe and classify them, this chapter cannot be more than a first and incomplete attempt to tackle the subject. In particular, the large-scale map of European landscape types presented below must be considered as an indicative representation of the distribution of the main categories of landscape across Europe which has been developed for descriptive rather than analytical purposes. A prevailing theme throughout the chapter, however, is the importance of landscapes to the future of Europe's environment and their due place and importance in international efforts to safeguard the environment of this continent.

The Romantic Era of the mid-19th century introduced America to its first distinct form of national literature that brought worldwide recognition to its prominent authors and their works. Yet for hundreds of years prior the continent produced various literary styles that emanated from native tribes and European explorers to revolutionary heroes and leaders, culminating in a vast treasure trove of history that stood as a precursor to what lay ahead. The natives of North America, absent of their own written vocabularies, passed down their histories, tales, myths and legends to their younger generations by word of mouth. Later, European settlers, after sailing across the vast Atlantic Ocean and reaching the shores of the North American continent, would write their own accounts of their findings and eventually decipher and translate the native’s stories into the myriad languages of the western and non-western world. Late 18th century American literature would be full of patriotic fervor from the writings of Thomas Paine, who would help rally General George Washington’s troops and bring new energy and hope to the American cause of independence and freedom. By the early 19th century, and after a second conflict with England, the nascent American nation was ready to sink its teeth into a newly-found national literature that would introduce the Romantic Era while its prominent authors would write about heroic hard-fought battles for democracy, the vast frontiers, and imaginative spine-tingling tales. It would be nature, though, in all of its resplendent boundless natural beauty, wonder and immensity, from sea to shining sea, that would provide the inspiration and impetus for two literary giants of this era, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, to let their imaginations flourish with wild creative abandon and to capture, on paper for the first time, the personal sentiments that made man recognize its eternal bond with the natural world and at long last give American’s their own literary genre that spoke to their affinity for the land and a nation they were proud to call home.

European Landscapes

On 4 March 2024, editor Harff-Peter Schönherr published an article about the EUROPEAN ESSAYS ON NATURE AND LANDSCAPE in taz nord, focusing in particular on the book STRAND by Karsten Reise and Hella Kemper. He writes: “Anyone who picks up several essays will sense that their themes intertwine – just like the landscapes they deal with. Each new volume completes a symbiosis that shows the value of crossing boundaries – and thus of what we have in common.”

The man who wants to climb all the hills of Lusatia

The Sächsische Zeitung newspaper spoke to Thomas Kunadt, author of HÜGELLAND, about his book and his passion for the landscape and hiking. Editor Christine Wittig-Tausch writes about the book: “The hills not only offer refuge for thoughtful souls thirsting for beauty and tranquillity. They provide an insight into the eventful history of the earth, which took place over millions of years. Coronavirus, wars and current debates play no role in Kunadt’s book. All of this seems as distant and fleeting as the blink of an eye when you read how the masses of ice approaching from the north have shaped the land and continue to do so.”

The Meanings of Landscape Essays on Place, Space, Environment and Justice

• Taylor & Francis eBooks (Institutional Purchase) Opens in new tab or window

Description

Compiling nine authoritative essays spanning an extensive academic career, author Kenneth R. Olwig presents explorations in landscape geography and architecture from an environmental humanities perspective. With influences from art, literature, theatre staging, architecture, and garden design, landscape has come to be viewed as a form of spatial scenery, but this reading captures only a narrow representation of landscape meaning today. This book positions landscape as a concept shaped through the centuries, evolving from place to place to provide nuanced interpretations of landscape meaning. The essays are woven together to gather an international approach to understanding the past and present importance of landscape as place and polity, as designed space, as nature, and as an influential factor in the shaping of ideas in a just social and physical environment. Aimed at students, scholars, and researchers in landscape and beyond, this illustrated volume traces the idea of landscape from the ancient polis and theatre through to the present day.

Table of Contents

Kenneth R. Olwig is Professor Emeritus of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, Sweden.

Critics' Reviews

"Landscape is an essential concept for our time, and Kenneth Olwig is a pioneer in the recovery of the word’s meanings. His classic essays, brought together in Meanings of Landscape, are required reading for all those who care about landscape in its many dimensions." Anne Whiston Spirn, author of The Language of Landscape "Wielding his philological scalpel, Olwig peels away landscape’s modern surficial layers that fixed it as spatial scenery, to expose its earlier meanings as a polity and its places that ideally form the nexus of community." Kent Mathewson, Department of Geography and Anthropology, Louisiana State University, USA The AAG Review of Books, Volume 7, 2019 " This is a wonderful book that gives a clear sense of the amazing breadth of Kenneth R. Olwig’s lifelong project on the history of landscape and of his unique capacity of moving in between languages and cultural contexts. Reading this book had almost a paralyzing effect on me: What else can be said on landscape? Where to take landscape research after The Meanings of Landscape? How to teach landscape and explain the genealogy of its diabolic duplicity?" Claudio Minca, Department of Geography and Planning, Macquarie University, Australia The AAG Review of Books, Volume 7, 2019  "Kenneth R. Olwig's The Meanings of Landscape is an outstanding piece of creative thinking delivered with an originality of style second to none. It weaves together a multifaceted storyline that stretches over decades of unique and consistent scholarship, time and again advancing from a place-oriented rage against space, and forever changing the way landscape used to be." The AAG Review of Books, Volume 7, 2019
