“…In that context, the sustainability argument reinforces the view that the historic environment should no longer be perceived in limited cultural terms, only for its archaeological, architectural, and historic interest [25]. Hence, landscapes do not need to be monumental or rare in order to mediate between the natural and the social [26]. That is why cultural landscapes, such as the traditional rural landscapes, have to be restored and re-evaluated as a way of diversifying our living environment, and creating new ones.…”

Traditional rural landscapes emerged from the long term interaction of the natural and anthropogenic environment. These landscapes are now threatened by drastic social-ecological changes. Recent international trends on sustaining cultural landscapes place great emphasis on understanding of multiple values, presented in the landscape, by considering various stakeholder perspectives. It is now recognized that strong community engagement with the landscape should be translated into conservation and management practices. This paper aims to examine the recent conservation activities around endangered traditional rural landscapes in Korea through a case study of Gacheon village. In this village, since 2000, a series of central administrative measures have been implemented to revive the local community, and to conserve its distinctive landscape. By analyzing challenges to the site, by discussing conservation experience and lessons, and by recommending future strategies for sustaining its cultural landscapes, this paper is expected to provide a basis for future policy-making for safeguarding traditional rural landscapes.

“…Geographers have considered the human material imprint on nature as a tangible expression of the human interaction with Nature, evidence of societies' various genres de vie, and indicators of social values and priorities (Osborne, 1998b). Increasingly, landscapes have been deconstructed as repositories of symbolic meaning (Bender, 1993;Cosgrove, 1988;Jackson, 1980Jackson, , 1984Jackson, , 1994Meinig, 1979;Osborne, 1988Osborne, , 2001Schama, 1995;Schein, 1997;Tilley, 1994;Tuan, 1974Tuan, , 1977. Sack takes it further, arguing that "[p]lace and its landscape become part of one's identity and one's memory.…”

From Native Pines to Diasporic Geese: Placing Culture, Setting Our Sites, Locating Identity in a Transnational Canada

In Canada, as elsewhere, introspective and nostalgic views of community and nation-state are being challenged by the impacts of globalism and cosmopolitanism. The impact of these transformations is acute in the context of Canada, where a liberal multiculturalism is transmuting into a hybrid pluralism. Current strategies of identity formation have to accommodate a hybridity that is being fostered by an ever-increasing diasporic population for whom "lived-in places" exhibit transnationalist connections. Too often, established mnemonic tropes relate to past iconic values and norms of the nation-state, even though they are no longer connected with emerging new values that search for new modes of expression. This paper discusses the crucial role of the arts and heritage in this local anchoring of the transnational polity, arguing that symbolic landscapes become sites where new values are contested and traditional iconic values are challenged.Résumé : Içi, comme ailleurs, des représentations introspectives et nostalgiques de communauté et d'État sont remises en question suite à l'impacte des effets de la mondialisation et du cosmopolitisme. La conséquence de ces transformations est fortement marquée dans un contexte canadien où un certain multiculturalisme libéral est en voie de se transformer en pluralisme hybride. Les stratégies courantes de création d'identité doivent accommoder une hybridité stimulée par une population diasporique grandissante chez qui le lieu d'habitation présente un contenu trans-nationaliste. Il se trouve trop souvent que des tropes mnémoniques préétablis s'apparentent à des valeurs iconiques traditionnelles et à des normes de l'État, même quand ils ne sont plus rattachés aux valeurs émergentes qui cherchent à élaborer de nouveaux modes d'expression. Cette communication examine le rôle critique des arts et du patrimoine vis-à-vis l'insertion au niveau local de l'entité transnationale. Il propose que les paysages symboliques deviennent des sites où de nouvelles valeurs sont contestées et où les valeurs ioniques traditionnelles sont remises au défi.

“…Artículo recibido el 6 de abril de Tradicionalmente el paisaje ha sido abordado por las ciencias sociales como una representación social naturalizada y estable del entorno físico. De este modo, se ha entendido como una porción de espacio caracterizada por elementos simbólicos o culturales (Sauer, 1963;Jackson, 1984); o desde un punto de vista histórico, como una imagen asociada a ideologías dominantes (Cosgrove, 1984;Williams, 2001). Sin embargo, su carácter estático y semiótico ha sido problematizado por un cuerpo amplio de literatura que ha enfatizado, bajo distintas premisas, el carácter procesual y experiencial del paisaje, destacando su profunda variabilidad cultural, la cual tambien expresa las formas particulares en que los habitantes interactúan con su entorno físico en distintos contextos (Hirsch, 1995;Ingold, 2000;Jackson, 1989;Massey, 2006;Relph, 1981;Tilley, 1994;Thrift, 2007).…”

RESUMENLas ciencias sociales se han aproximado a la construcción del paisaje a partir de sus variables tangibles e intangibles, conceptualizándolo principalmente como una representación cultural o el refl ejo de una ideología. Desarrollos analíticos recientes han indicado el carácter procesual del paisaje, enfatizando la importancia de la experiencia en la interacción social entre elementos humanos y no humanos. Para demostrar los alcances teóricos de una defi nición del paisaje como proceso de vida, se presenta el caso del paisaje colono en el sur de Chile, centrándose en el valor de la domesticación en la relación agencial entre habitantes y bosques. El análisis desarrollado en el presente artículo da cuenta de cómo, en contextos de colonización, el sentido de lugar y la pertenencia geográfi ca no se expresan a través de adscripciones identitarias tradicionales asociada a una presupuesta cultura campesina sino mediante la involucración de los seres humanos con los bosques, en la búsqueda por transformar espacios forestales salvajes en bosques domesticados.Palabras clave: Paisaje, lugar, sociedad colona, Chile. ABSTRACTSocial sciences have approached the social construction of landscape through a focus on tangible and intangible variables, primarily conceptualized as a cultural representation or a refl ection of ideology. New analytical developments have highlighted the procedural character of the landscape, emphasizing the importance of experience on social interaction between human and non-human components. In order to show the theoretical implications of the defi nition of the landscape as a life process, we present here a case study on the colonial landscape of southern Chile. In particular, we will focus on the value of domestication, characterizing the agential relation between forests and their inhabitants. Our analysis shows that, in the historical context of colonization, the sense of place and geographical belonging are not manifested through traditional identity claims associated with an assumed farming culture. Rather, they materialize as a result of human engagement with forests, aimed at the transformation of wild forest areas into domesticated woods.
