LARC 460: Landscape and Identity: Placemaking Across World Cultures Contact Shenglin Chang for more information on this course. top
 
Most of the time, when we think about landscape we think about it as an object that is separate from us. In this course we compare and contrast the Eurocentric view of landscape as an object separate from the self with various other cultural perspectives that offer alternative narratives in which landscape and identity are understood as connected rather than separate. The examination of cultural perspectives that challenge the Eurocentric view of landscape’s relationship to self will run parallel to an ongoing exploration of how landscape can inform questions about the personal and social implications of living within an era of globalization. This course is open to LARC major students and students from other departments and disciplines on campus. It is a course that is designed to stimulate conversation about how landscape and identity interrelate and how a comparison of various cultural constructions of the landscape-identity informs each other.
