| Résumé anglais |
How does one comprehend the landscape in terms of its multiple temporalities : the temporality of its variable ecological factors, the temporality of its social history, and the temporality of its representations ? The lability and plasticity of the real landscape contrast with a certain rigidity in the perceptive codes used by the landscape « reader ». Would the cultural unconscious deprived of picturesque images be able to find references in a changing environment that has no longer anything to do with certain out-dated fantasies of the memory ? When the loss of a reference framework clouds the understanding and returns the observer to a state of generalised opacity, the landscape becomes uncertain. Is there not a danger of it disappearing altogether if the beholder no longer knows how to contemplate it ? Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
