The contributions are arranged around a general question of how humans organise the spaces in which they live. The book is divided according to three themes: the humanities and ecosemiotic approach to nature, constructing nature, and examining environmental and landscape change. The first provides an historical review of the humanities and expands on the more theoretical themes. The second section discusses some ways in constructing (wild) nature with specific examples. The final one illustrates the changes that various cultures have brought about in the environment examining landscapes and domestication. The space of culture and the place of nature in various cultures are discussed critically throughout the volume in a way that challenges their ontological separations and invites to discuss culture-nature relationships on a more balanced basis. 2012-09-05 00:00:00 2020-04-01T15:17:52Z 2020-04-01T15:17:52Z 2011 book 425733 OCN: 842294862 2228-060X (print);2228-4117 (online);2228-411 9789949196234 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34476 eng Approaches to Culture Theory application/pdf n/a 425733.pdf University of Tartu Press 10.26530/OAPEN_425733 10.26530/OAPEN_425733 fed215d9-bf7f-466c-a9f3-5510b4847c64 9789949196234 1 191 Tartu open access |

The book is divided according to three themes: the humanities and ecosemiotic approach to nature, constructing nature, and examining environmental and landscape change. The first provides an historical review of the humanities and expands on the more theoretical themes. The second section discusses some ways in constructing (wild) nature with specific examples. The final one illustrates the changes that various cultures have brought about in the environment examining landscapes and domestication. The space of culture and the place of nature in various cultures are discussed critically throughout the volume in a way that challenges their ontological separations and invites to discuss culture-nature relationships on a more balanced basis. |
