Abstract

"In Apollo's Eye, geographer Denis Cosgrove examines the historical implications for the West of conceiving and representing the earth as a globe: a unified, spherical body. Cosgrove traces how ideas of globalism and globalization have shifted historically in relation to changing images of the earth, from antiquity to the Space Age. He connects the evolving image of a unified globe to politically powerful conceptions of human unity.". "Cosgrove's analysis traces a pattern of associations between global images and the formation of Western identities, paying tribute to the richly complex cosmographic tradition out of which today's geographical imagination has emerged."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

La perception que nous avons de l’espace ne constitue pas tout à fait une donnée naturelle. Elle est fortement influencée par notre environnement culturel.À l’espace homogène que nous percevons aujourd’hui, où seules varient les distances, s’oppose l’espace hétérogène du Moyen Âge, senti comme de nature différente selon qu’il est proche ou lointain. De cette distinction, illustrée par les arts figuratifs, la cartographie, la littérature, le langage même, découlent des conséquences qui embrassent notre civilisation entière : celle-ci, en dix siècles, glisse d’un modèle à l’autre, au prix d’un bouleversement de ses valeurs sensorielles et symboliques.Paul Zumthor retrace cette histoire de quatre points de vue convergents : par rapport à l’idée de « lieu » et de stabilité, à celle de « dimension » et de mouvement, à celle d’inconnu désirable et de « découverte », enfin dans les représentations imagées. Le moment critique, où l’on bascule du monde ancien à la modernité, n’est pas identique dans ces diverses perspectives. Du moins une période tournante se dessine-t-elle entre 1450 et 1550 : emblématiquement, l’équipée de Christophe Colomb en marque le centre.

Abstract

Landscape has long had a submerged presence within anthropology, both as a framing device which informs the way the anthropologist brings his or her study into 'view', and as the meaning imputed by local people to their cultural and physical surroundings. A principal aim of this volume follows from these interconnected ways of considering landscape: the conventional, Western notion of 'landscape' may be used as productive point of departure from which to explore analgous ideas; local ideas can in turn reflexively by used to interrogate the Western construct.The Introduction argues that landscape should be conceptualized as a cultural process: a process located between place and space, inside and outside, image and representation. In the chapters that follow, nine noted anthropologists and an art historian exemplify this approach, drawing on a diverse set of case studies. These range from an analysis of Indian calendar art to an account of Israeli nature tourism, and from the creation of a metropolitan "gaze" in nineteenth-century Paris to the soundscapes particular to the Papua New Guinea rainforests. The anthropological perspectives developed here are of cross-disciplinary relevance; geographers, art historians, and archaeologists will be no less interested than anthropologists in this re-envisaging of the notion of landscape.
