内容説明

Cultural geography is concerned with making sense of people and the places they occupy thorugh analyses of cultural processes, cultural landscapes, and cultural identities. It is also concerned with culture as a causal mechanism (especially the geographic expression of culture in landscape) and cultural politics (especially the social and spatial constitution of culture). Increasingly, these concerns are at the fore-front of much contemporary geographic study. This text includes six substantive thematic chapters: landscape evolution; regions and landscapes; ecology and landscapes; behaviour and landscape; unequal groups, unequal landscapes; and landscape, identity, symbol. Each chapter focuses on a particular theme, explains the rationale for that theme, and provides examples of analyses conducted by cultural geographers. The final chapter discusses the current and possible future status of cultural geography. Reader comprehension is facilitated by the use of illustrations, tables, boxes and discussion topics.
