TI  - The Nature/Culture Dualism Challenged by the Landscape
PY  - 2010///.
							
N1  - 18
N2  - The landscape is always considered an exemplary nature space and its beauty provokes emotion. Man is often absent from it, as if his very presence could sap the area of its legitimacy. It is, however, impossible to delimit what could be considered landscape by segmenting territory and excluding that which is judged not to be worthy of contemplation. Man’s imprint marks the environment. His presence is everywhere and necessitates a reflection on what can constitute a natural landscape. Can things created by man, like elements resulting from industrial activity, be considered landscape? This implies a questioning of the nature/culture dualism and obligates us to shift the boundaries of “nature” by refusing to see only the aesthetics of a rural landscape and by accepting to reflect on the place of human activities within their environment
