ENVI 360E - Cultural Landscapes

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Environmental Studies

Description:

As natural landscapes are transformed by people, specific cultural values become inscribed on the land. Some seem permanent, while others are regularly erased. This course aims to survey and explore a range of perspectives on the nature of human integration with the environment and the manifestation of human creativity on the landscape. How have ideas about art and beauty shaped the way we perceive the landscapes around us? What work does the landscape do in reenacting cultural norms? What do particular landscapes mean, how did they acquire those meanings and what do they accomplish? The course will consider the processes of culture in the productions of landscapes and the environmental implications of those processes.
