Seasonal Landscapes

Science / Life Sciences / Ecology

Seasonality is so obvious and so constant that we very often overlook it when doing landscape research. Seasonality is the interface where humans and nature really interact. Moreover, seasonality itself changes along with societal changes: in agricultural societies, summer was the working season and winter the resting one. Today we are more and more used to summer holidays. Landscapes are seasonal both in terms of time and space. Seasonality creates varying patterns of use and manifests itself in spatial practices, paintings, and human behaviour. Do different seasonalities influence our mindsets? How should seasonality be taken into account in landscape planning? This book studies seasonal landscape in Scandinavia and Brazil, on the Aegean islands and in European mountains, in agriculture tourism, in cities and in the countryside.
