課程概述

We define landscape identity as how we interpret our relationship with the places we are attached. As the central concept in landscape studies, landscape identities penetrate our daily experiences. For generations growing up in urban and industrial environments, our landscape cross-culturally intertwines with artificial elements. For example, in A Sense of Place, A Sense of Time, J. B. Jackson suggests new vernacular landscape for suburban Americans by examining trailers, parking lots, trucks, loading docks, and suburban garages. In other words, most of the time, when we think about landscape identity, we think about cultures as driving forces that manipulate people’s perceptions of ecological systems.

1.This course is scheduled in Sessions 6-7-8 Friday afternoon. However, there will be field work classes that take entire afternoon or to evening in March. Please do not arrange your schedules to avoid potential conflicts.
2.We plan to study abroad to Seto Inland Sea area in June. However, due to the unpredictable Covid-19 conditions, we would be unable to fix our plan early. Please do provide the flexibility for the event. Meanwhile, we also plan the alternative online workshops and symposium as back-up plans.
3.For information regarding Pinglin, Toyooka and Seto Inland Ocean regions, please refer to appendix.

課程目標

Instead of interpreting landscape identity from urbanized cultural lenses in this class, we examine our surroundings through how ecological factors integrate cultural values to reformat landscapes. After we reveal our own home identities via “hometalks” in first stage, we target three types of landscapes through field-based case studies: countryside, small cities, and islands. We examine how the symbolic ecological factors shape the landscape identities of local societies and influence the global perceptions of the places. Blending offline fieldwork and online learning methods, we discuss: (1) the Pinglin rural tea region in New Taipei City, Taiwan, (2) the Stork city of Toyooka in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, (3) islands of Seto Inland Sea, Japan. In three cases, people’s landscape identities fundamentally constitute tea ecosystems, Oriental White Stork ecosystems, and Setouchi small island ecosystems. In terms of social factors, three local societies all confront depressing economies, lack of educational systems, and severe aging challenges; they all urgently seek i-turn or u-turn young talents. More importantly, their solutions seem to be in agricultural industries, ecotourism business, and earth art festivals.

In the new normal era of globalization and network societies, our daily lives have already been exposed to various cultural and ecological influences where we encountered people with various cultural heritages. Our travels to, or migrations to, different societies have experienced different customs, attitudes, histories, and environments. Various cultural and ecological voices emerge at many scales of landscapes. On a global scale, the mixture of socio-cultural and ecological systems within our daily spaces, indeed, impacts our socio-behavior patterns and how we shape our built environments. This course investigates these phenomena theoretically and analytically through online and offline fieldwork, hands-on modeling, readings, lectures, film watching, discussions, and presentations.

課程要求

(1) Students have to participate in online and offline lectures, reading discussions, group activities, project presentations, and field trips and studies, as well as conducting and writing individual documentary experiences and final reports. Participation and attending class is mandatory and it is critical for your grades.
(2) Fieldworks and workshops are essential in this class. They weight as important as traditional reading texts for us to understand diverse landscapes, lifestyles, as well as their identities.
(3) Most of the class materials will be in English or other major languages. This course will be delivered mainly in English format. Please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Chang, if you have any question. The contact info is: shenglin@g.ntu.edu.tw
