"This thoughtful collection of essays on landscapes is largely inspired by the recent writings of Chris Tilley and Tim Ingold, whose own contributions bookend the other papers in the volume...What this volume does is open up some space for further imaginative wanderings and questions about the precise manner in which both residents and scholars are socially disciplined or culturally conditioned to read different landscapes." (The Australian Journal of Anthropolog). "The main theoretical aim of the book, to move beyond a dichotomy between experience and structure in the anthropological study of landscape, is important and makes a lot of sense in relation to the existing literature on the topic... [T]his new collection is timely,...exceptionally rich and interesting and clearly demonstrate that anthropological thinking on landscape is alive and well." (Paola Fillipucci, Cambridge University). Land is embedded in a multitude of material and cultural contexts, through which the human experience of landscape emerges. Ethnographers, with their participative methodologies, long-term co-residence, and concern with the quotidian aspects of the places where they work, are well positioned to describe landscapes in this fullest of senses. The contributors explore how landscapes become known primarily through movement and journeying rather than stasis. Working across four continents, they explain how landscapes are constituted and recollected in the stories people tell of their journeys through them, and how, in turn, these stories are embedded in landscaped forms.

Pour l'anthropologue, le paysage est un construit social et consiste en une représentation qui n'a pas de réalité objective. Le paysage associe un substrat physique au regard d'un individu socialement et culturellement déterminé. Comme objet politique, le paysage est l'enjeu d'une lutte entre divers acteurs pour le définir de manière particulière. Les représentations paysagères dépendent en effet de l'identité complexe des agents sociaux susceptibles de mobiliser diverses postures. Ainsi, la posture adoptée varie en fonction de la situation et des rapports qu'entretient l'agent social avec les objets paysagers. Le concept de posture paysagère décrit le discours et la position observable prise par un individu face à un paysage en lien avec sa profession, son origine sociale, son histoire personnelle, etc. Cette théorie anthropologique du paysage nous permet de proposer des outils pratiques pour une négociation paysagère : reconnaître que chacun représente une (ou plusieurs) posture paysagère conduit à des prises de position plus souples et ouvre au dialogue. Il est ainsi possible de désamorcer la cristallisation des postures qu'engendre souvent le phénomène de délégation et de représentation. Enfin, le rôle et le statut des experts engagés dans le processus doivent être clarifiés : qui détient l'autorité pour produire une expertise ? Par qui va-t-elle être reconnue ? Quelle est l'indépendance de l'expert ? Cet ouvrage propose une anthropologie politique du paysage à partir de différentes recherches conduites dans le Jura et les Alpes suisses.

Is Landscape . . . ? surveys multiple and myriad definitions of landscape. Rather than seeking a singular or essential understanding of the term, the collection postulates that landscape might be better read in relation to its cognate terms across expanded disciplinary and professional fields. The publication pursues the potential of multiple provisional working definitions of landscape to both disturb and develop received understandings of landscape architecture. These definitions distinguish between landscape as representational medium, academic discipline, and professional identity. Beginning with an inquiry into the origins of the term itself, Is Landscape . . . .? features essays by a dozen leading voices shaping the contemporary reading of landscape as architecture and beyond.
