“…The very vagueness of the term resilience has promoted its popularity across disciplines, as a boundary object enabling cross-discipline and science-practice communication (Brand and Jax, 2007). This same vagueness, however, poses the risk of using the concept of resilience subjectively, for example as an argument for supporting the status quo (Kirchhoff et al, 2010(Kirchhoff et al, , 2012. Thus, a conceptual definition of resilience in the context of food systems will help avoid the ambiguity caused by the multitude of resilience definitions used in other disciplines and contexts by setting boundaries, and thus providing the basis for operationalization and application of resilience thinking (Brand and Jax, 2007) in food systems.…”

This paper develops a historical and systematic typology of perceptions of wilderness that exist in contemporary western European cultures. After describing notions of wilderness associated with worldviews that emerged during the Enlightenment period (theological, early Enlightenment, liberalism, democratism) and as a critical response to it (Rousseauism, early Romanticism, English and German conservatism), we outline four recent transformations of these traditional notions of wilderness: wilderness as an ecological object, as a place of nature's self-reassertion, as a place of thrill and as a sphere of amorality and meaninglessness. In our conclusion, we suggest what practical relevance arises from such a nuanced understanding of the inherently ambiguous concept of wilderness.

“…Although rooted in different scientific communities, the concepts of landscape and SES share strong similarities (Kirchhoff et al 2012). A fundamental common basis is that both point to a coevolutionary interrelationship between the natural and the human realm.…”

ABSTRACT. How is gradual landscape change perceived and dealt with at the community level? Based on a case study approach, this question is investigated with regards to agricultural abandonment and the subsequent expansion of forests in the Black Forest, Germany. In the case presented, local residents' perception of incremental landscape change does not correspond with a survey on biophysical features of landscape change, but rather focuses on visible effects and exhibits considerable time lags. Facing the same problem, local responses to change in two similarly structured and almost adjacent communities contrast strongly in character and outcomes. I conclude that local perceptions of change as well as specific community identities need to be taken into account in landscape management and policy. The promotion of specific examples of well-performing community-based management strategies, preferably by those people directly involved, should be considered as a particularly valuable dissemination tool.
