LARC40470 Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Landscape

Academic Year 2017/2018

This module replaces the class of the same name, previously coded ARCT40820

The landscape is a subject of general interest, but the word is used by different disciplines to give it different, sometimes contradictory, meanings. This module sets out to consider how different disciplines approach the landscape, how they affect our landscapes, and how we think about those same landscapes. Taught through weekly readings, discussions and seminars the module hopes to stimulate dialogue, debate and exchange around the subject of landscape (and life) thus leading to a deeper understanding of this multi-faceted concept, and our interactions with it. This module could appeal to students studying a variety of subjects.
