Swiss Mountains : Inventing and Using a Representation of the Landscape (18th-20th Century)
This history of the process that crosses "spaciality" and "discursivity" at the point of identifying a type of landscape and its inhabitants (herein the Alps and Switzerland) shows how a set of places differentiated by use has served to gradually construct a landscape, which is to be interpreted in aesthetic and anthropological terms as of the 18th century, before it became mainly economic. In the case of Switzerland however, the "aestheticization" of the countryside into landscapes has been closely associated with building the nation during the 19th century, whence the necessity of an ideological sort of interpretation. Such is the problem of the chosen sites that landscapes represent as places of memory. Their production contrasts with another process, namely the diffusion of a Swiss ideal type of landscape and the misappropriation of a landscape, which gradually lost its symbolic contents throughout the 19th century.
