Texto completoResumen
Our understanding of the Later Stone Age (LSA) on the Greater Mapungubwe Landscape has until now been fairly limited. However, it is a landscape upon which foragers witnessed and partook in agriculturalist state formation between AD 900 and 1300, altering their cultural behaviour to suit their changing social and political topography. Nowhere else in southern Africa were foragers part of such developments. For this project a landscape approach was used to study the various changes in the regional LSA record as well as the way in which foragers interacted with farmers. In order to address these issues, data were obtained from an archaeological survey followed by an excavation of seven sites in north-eastern Botswana, part of the Greater Mapungubwe Landscape. These finds indicate that the local forager record varies chronologically and spatially, which had not previously been recorded. Foragers also used a variety of site types and in each a different forager expression was deposited, providing indications of their changing settlement pattern. Notably, this included a gradual movement into agriculturalist homesteads beginning by at least AD 1000 and concluding by AD 1300, when the Mapungubwe capital was abandoned. Thus, interactions, at least in some cases, led to assimilation. There is also clear evidence of exchange with agriculturalists at many of the excavated sites, but this does not always seem to be related to their proximity with one another. Performing a landscape study has also made it possible to make two general conclusions with regard to LSA research. First, these data challenge ethnography, displaying its limitations particularly with linking modern Bushman practices, such as aggregation and dispersal patterns or hxaro gift exchange, to LSA foragers. Second, a full landscape understanding combines the archaeology of multiple cultural landscapes and in this case also crosses national borders, two themes often neglected in southern African archaeological studies.

Texto completoResumen
This is about acting from a situation, a place, its conditions and its actors. It is an attempt to understand the ongoing transformations of the city of Umeå, to grasp how it functions and gain the knowledge to be able to act within and suggest new possible futures. By looking at Umeå and the current situation with the parking lot as an index, a tool, a laboratory, and a possible new common, new ways of building the city while living within it will be suggested. The non place of the parking lot with its singular purpose is part of the mechanisms that makes our city, at the same time it is the effect of this city making and it is also a great place to start a change of such system. The 2.5x5 meters that makes a parking lot is small in comparison with the city, and even more so in comparison with the country or the world, but the size also makes it possible to grasp, touch and inhabit. The smallness makes it seem rather innocent and without much importance but the power lies within its multiplicity. A change within a parking lot might not be much, but the possibility of spreading throughout the city and the world makes the parking lot a very powerful place. Since humans can sometimes be creatures of habit, I believe that it is extremely important to keep on questioning the way we inhabit the world together. Widely spread and accepted habits can start acting like dysfunctional natural laws steering us in a direction we might not have chosen if alternatives were presented to us. By investigating and testing the possibilities of such a bland and unquestioned place as the parking lot, I am looking to find glimpses of alternative ways of making the world while living it.

Texto completoResumen
In collaboration with members of the Comcaac (Seri Indians) community of the central coast of Sonora, Mexico, it has been possible to join oral historical evidence with archaeological, ethnographic, and documentary data towards a better understanding of the Comcaac past and its continuity into the present. Collaborative research creates opportunities for innovative frameworks and methodologies that can integrate diverse historical narratives while responding to Comcaac perspectives and desires. The research approach emphasizes the historical and social context-dependent dialectical nature of material culture and its acquired meaning through social practice. It defines a cultural landscape as an environmental setting that is simultaneously the medium for, and the outcome of, social action. The Comcaac cultural landscape is tied to history, culture, and society, where places localize, commemorate, and transmit traditional knowledge derived from the people's historical memory that is anchored to the land. This study formally, spatially and temporally documented a vast range of social practices that constructed and continues to construct the Comcaac cultural landscape. In tandem with standard archaeological survey techniques, we developed a distinctive methodology for simultaneously recording oral histories and traditions along successive landscape segments. This project improves the discipline of anthropology through methodological advances to build theory that better understands object and people relationships in the past and today. The results not only exemplify a productive collaboration endeavor but also enhance archaeological knowledge of the poorly known Comcaac region.

Lynch, Erin S. "Feng Shui as a site design tool: Assessing conditions of human comfort in urban places". Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/292072.
Texto completoResumen
Feng Shui as a site design tool seeks a different spectrum of criteria in the observation and assessment of a site than that of contemporary site design. It is a method based on the understanding and observation of the energetic conditions within and surrounding a site. Energetic conditions are perceptible. It requires an additional level of awareness to be able to identify what it is that causes a space to feel the way it does. Feng Shui may provide the additional level of consideration that when incorporated in the design process, facilitates spaces that may more effectively fulfill their purpose and feel good to the people using them. This study assessed a variety of existing urban places in Tucson, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Sedona, AZ. for conditions of human comfort based on (1) Feng Shui principles, and (2) contemporary site design recommendations. Current research on the topic of Feng Shui is limited to its application in land planning. This qualitative study applied the principles of Feng Shui as criteria in the evaluation of urban spaces. Results of the study indicate that well designed places from a Feng Shui standpoint were also perceived as well designed from a contemporary site design vantage. The outcome suggests the value of incorporating Feng Shui as a tool in the site design process used by Western designers.

Texto completoResumen
Vulnerability of prey to predators is heavily influenced by their respective physical and behavioral characteristics; however their interactions with landscape, and climate, collectively termed "environmental vulnerability," may also assume considerable importance. Landscape or habitat-dependent prey vulnerability is well-studied in smaller taxa systems where environmental factors primarily influence encounter rates, however the impact of environmental vulnerability in large mammal systems, where the probability of a successful attack may be more important than encounter probability, is poorly understood. This study utilized 18 years of survival and mortality data for radio-collared elk (Cervus elaphus), in concert with abundance, distribution, and habitat use data prior to and following restoration of wolves (Canis lupus) to Yellowstone National Park to evaluate the relationship between environmental vulnerability and elk mortality. Logistic regression was used to model the odds of mortality for 108 elk in 1257 animal sample intervals from 1991-2009 across a range of environmental conditions and gradients of wolf predation risk to evaluate: 1) The relationship between landscape, habitat, and environmental attributes and elk vulnerability to wolf predation and 2) Changes in the attributes related to elk mortality before and after wolf colonization. In the absence of wolf predation, mortality risk for elk was primarily associated with physical attributes of elk due to age and condition, factors that are known to influence starvation mortality. Following wolf reintroduction mortality risk was related to these elk physical characteristics, but more so to characteristics of the landscape and climate within an animal's home range. These apparent environmental influences were strong enough to result in substantial changes in distribution and abundance of elk in the study system to the extent that by the end of the study elk almost exclusively utilized areas with high probability of wolf encounter, but also a high probability of escape due to the collective characteristics of the landscape promoting predation refuges. The strong influence of environmental vulnerability is likely to affect the abundance and distribution of elk and wolves across their range, and has broad applications to large mammal predator-prey dynamics in general.

Texto completoResumen
What is the connection between people and the landscape that surrounds them? How do changes in that landscape affect social life? This study of a dual-sited village community in southern Manggarai (eastern Indonesia) argues that places and pathways are crucially implicated in the constitution of persons and social relationships. Manggarai life takes place within a complex and contested 'landscape' of kinship and history, in which state policies and religious conversion are leading people to reinterpret traditional notions of growth, fertility and the land. In considering this landscape, the study connects literature on the southeast Asian 'House' with the analysis of transformative journeys, and descriptions of village layout and sacred geography with the ethnography of family intimacy. Rooms are shown to be central to the constitution of households and notions of siblingship, whilst ordinary houses are egalitarian collections of rooms, and sites of ritual remembering. Clan identity is embodied in the drum house, but the significance of this 'House' as a social institution is changing under the influence of state cultural politics. Marriage is conceptualised as creating 'paths' of relatedness, and individual alliance connections are maintained by emotional journeys along these paths. Within origin villages, named fields and sacred, stone platforms are potent signs both in and of history, but their absence in recently settled villages contributes to the ritual 'emptiness' of these sites. History is also revealed in the landscape through topogenies that relate ancestral journeys from place to place, and through the growth of seedling villages. However, recent histories have created new interpretations of this landscape. In particular, people engage with their community's division between a highland site and a lowland, satellite village by 'swinging' between the power of 'the outside', and the authority of the centred, ancestral interior.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis explores aspects of everyday experience and the creation of place within the Iron Age island landscapes of the Outer Hebrides. While investigations of place and landscape, as experiential phenomena, are well developed in the context of Neolithic and Bronze Age research such approaches have been largely neglected within British Iron Age studies and in the study of the Outer Hebridean Iron Age more specifically. A hitherto focus upon ritual landscapes partly explains the lack of uptake within British Iron Age contexts more frequently defined by concepts of domesticity. The experience of place and landscape, however, are not only of significance within 'ritual' contexts but play an important role in the shaping of human action in the realm of the everyday. Instead, the principal barrier appears to be methodological - how does one go about investigating everyday experiences within prehistoric landscapes? A major component of this research has therefore been to explore and develop a methodology for this research. Current archaeological practice provides two contrasting methods for the study of landscape experience - one rooted in the analysis of field observations, inspired more directly by phenomenology, and the other via the application of GIS as a means of modeling landscapes from the perspective of human engagement. Despite much shared theoretical ground there remains little dialogue between practitioners of these respective approaches. It is proposed, however, that both approaches can make valued contributions to our understanding of the past and this thesis aims to contribute to an emerging discourse between what are commonly conceived as contradictory methods of enquiry. By exploring the character and diversity of island landscape settlement locales and the everyday experiences of Iron Age places this research offers an alternative framework for understanding the Iron Age societies of the Outer Hebrides.

After archaeological excavations had been carried out in the area 1991, an article promote it to the “Bronze Age district of Mönsterås” (Källström 1993). There are two main problems that I deal with in this paper. First: The relations between the natural places and the monuments or memorials. Secondly: The patterns with respect to the spread of certain monuments in the landscapes. My studies starts from the British landscape archaeology of Christopher Tilley and Richard Bradley, but also from a Scandinavian point of view with Terje Gansum et al.

Texto completoResumen
This study introduces a multi-disciplinary ecocritical approach to fictional evocations of place in colonial modernity between 1890 and 1940. Drawing together both modernist and contemporary theories of cognition, spatio-temporality, cinema, and the literary and human geographical assimilation of unfamiliar places, it analyzes the literary and visual poetics by which modernist depictions of landscape produce analogues for the crisis of the individual in the face of the other. Quarrelling with the sometimes recursive formulations of the spatial turn in culture studies, it reconceives the spatio-temporal arena through which literary representations of consciousness are staged through setting depictions. In order to track the dislocating of the subject in “exotic” environments an analytic frame is introduced, aesthetic duration, describing the narrative poetics by which epiphanic human experiences come to be mounted through tropes of aporia or ‘blockage’ – the temporal process by which the ambient aspects of concrete topographies are transformed into ideational or affective atmospheres. While the initial chapters introduce a model of theatricalized temporal ambience in fiction through Joseph Conrad’s An Outcast of the Islands, the study goes on to include close readings of Conrad’s Lord Jim as well as exoticist works by the problematic ‘modernists’, Lawrence, Forster, and Woolf. More fully, the scenographic dynamics of topographical depiction in these fictions of the imperial periphery are used to reveal how texts utilize durational forms and their primary vehicle, atmospheric appearing, in order to evoke interiority. Additionally, the present-time experience of cognitive crisis, where grounded in representations of landscape, is shown to constitute a performative forum for consciousness and narration. To this end the spatio-temporal frames of William James, Henri Bergson and Walter Benjamin are explored for their insights into the dynamics whereby the moment of signification is held open in order to enable thematic, affective, and cognitive transfers. The study thus begins by theorizing the ecologically nuanced strategies by which colonial places offer themselves as stand-ins for the decentred subjects of European modernism, and concludes by establishing a theatricalized model for the synaesthetic processes by which the places in colonial modernist fiction communicate significance via their performative poetics.

This PhD provides insight into designing. It offers a view on the nature and structures of design research proposing that design research occurs within the activity of designing. As a case study, the PhD provides an internal view of the emergent design process of a collaborative architecture design practice terroir. It proposes a way, (the 'design-place'), in which design by collaboration operates within complex and often contradictory contexts. The thesis deals with questions of design in a contemporary, cosmopolitan condition and proposes that within such a condition design is an ethical endeavour. A key underlying proposition of the thesis is that architecture is fundamentally a critical activity. The PhD concludes by demonstrating through design projects how terroir has explored these questions in producing designs that operate at the level of personal and subjective experience in opening up a public, cosmopolitan realm.

Sustainable landscape design is generally understood in relation to three principles—ecological health, social justice, and economic prosperity. However, people have neglected to recognize the significance of their impact on the environment. The real conflict begins to address our relationship with the environment and how we attempt to reconnect and reverse centuries of environmental degradation. As a society, we lie at the intersection of the past and the future, presenting us the opportunity to think organically. Harboring values much different from post-industrial thinking, organic values work with nature rather than against it. However, most contemporary processes are not organic in nature. Rather they are products of our isolated way of thinking; a limited form of consciousness that arrogantly declares that we are the greatest intelligence on Earth. This consciousness has taught us that for our survival, it is our duty to subdue nature, relating to it as a resource for implementing how and what our minds invent. We have learned to relate to nature as a commodity rather than respect it as our community. Infusion seeks to establish this connection by creating a Transit-Oriented Development in the Knobtown District that uses the power of aesthetics to promote and inspire educational exploration, cultural expression, and ethical revelation of sustainable design. Supporting this solution is a four-part foundational framework that identifies specific design principles that are envisioned to improve the way we relate to our environment through aesthetic eminence educational exploration, cultural expression and ethical revelation. The conceptualized framework is structured to be adaptable for many design situations becoming a foundation for the way in which we design and interact with form and space. In its final state, Infusion communicates the significance of these essential design principles and how the new Knobtown District can become an important part of the Rock Island Corridor.

Denna studie ämnar undersöka hur Arbetets museum är som arbetsplats och plats. För att nå studiens syfte besvaras först frågan vad en arbetsplats är innan den specifika platsen, Arbetets museum diskuteras och sätts in i en bredare platskontext. Slutsatsen av denna undersökning är att en arbetsplats är relativ svår att förklara men att den fysiska platsen betonas och även rörelsen till och från arbetet. Den teknologiska utvecklingen har lett till mer platslösa och mindre tidsbundna arbetsplatser men att den fysiska platsen och rummet fortfarande är att föredra. Arbetets museum som arbetsplats är enbart positiv men det är lätt att hamna i en bubbla och reproducera normer och beteenden. Slutligen har den omkringliggande platsen stor betydelse då platser ändras i samband med samhällsförändringar vilket påverkar Arbetets museum som plats och arbetsplats.This study aims to research how the Museum of work is as a place of work and place. To reach the studie's purpose the question of what a place of work is will be answered before the specific place, the Museum of work is discussed and put in a broader place context. The conclusion of this study is that a working place is relatively hard to explain but the physical place is emphasized and also the movement to and from work. The technological development has led to a more placeless and less time bound place of work but the physical place and the room are still prefered. The Museum of Work as a place of work is only positive but its easy to end up in a bubble and reproduce norms and behaviors. Finally he surrounding envoronment has a big impact on The Museum of Work as place and place of work since it changes alongside the society.

Texto completoResumen
Rivers once had meaning to societies. This meaning was associated with agricultural practices, spiritual connection with nature, social interaction and the combination of all these different activities and functions which were enjoyed by the whole community. Today these rivers have little (if any) meaning to society. Meaning has been lost due to neglect, pollution and crime. The spirit of community once associated with these rivers is now under threat. The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of a river system in creating meaningful places for a shared sense of community. It therefore presents an attempt at re/claiming this meaning, through the application of community design theory, with a river’s edge intervention that connects people with others, and communities with the river. The design process started with a site analysis to highlight the challenges and opportunities of the study area, local framework area, masterplan area and focus site. Existing frameworks and precedent studies assisted in compiling guidelines and design principles for the project. The study found that by dealing away with the current negative image of the river and re-introducing activities that the community values, these spaces can be re/claimed as meaningful people spaces. Community design, informed by the concept of place-making, is an appropriate theory for revitalising the river systems which cut through urban landscapes and disconnect communities. This study suggest that a landscape design based on community ethics, aspirations and cultural values i.e. social aspects of landscape architecture, is most likely to succeed in the long run as it creates a sense of belonging and ownership.Dissertation (ML(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Texto completoResumen
The large-scale field-systems, ubiquitous across upland and marginal parts of the Yorkshire Dales, are insecurely dated and poorly understood. Apart from some sporadic academic interest, the archaeology of this region has yet to receive the level of scholarly attention it deserves. The research presented here involved an intensive investigation of an area near Grassington, Upper Wharfedale, UK. Detailed field analysis revealed a section of one of these field-systems to be only a single element in a complex, multi-layered prehistoric landscape, which it is proposed may have roots as far back as the early Neolithic. Contextualisation of the survey area against palynological data, radiocarbon dates and comparative material moves the date of inception of the field-systems back to the middle Bronze Age, some 1000 years earlier than is currently assumed. The combination of empirical data and theoretical ideas has allowed a relative chronology to be determined in the survey area, together with the creation of a testable hypothesis surrounding the development of Upper Wharfedale and the wider Yorkshire Dales through prehistory. A sense of place and the veneration of natural places are key themes within this landscape and it was possible through these to draw out elements of prehistoric society and to show the evolution of ideas such as land tenure and monument significance. This dual empirical-theoretical approach is novel in upland landscape archaeology in the UK and is shown here to have significant merit.

Texto completoResumen
In the Late Iron Age, the Mälaren region contained a clearly stratified society and many sites in the landscape indicate the presence of an upper stratum, an elite. This concept – elite – may perhaps be seen as problematic, but in this case it is decidedly more neutral, and considerably less limiting and excluding than many other concepts.
The elite was a group that we know possessed larger farm buildings, more monumental and richly equipped graves as well as control over a large part of the specialised handicraft. The people in this elite group of society clearly advertised that they belonged to a special social unit. There are indications that these people had clear similarities with the nobility of the Middle Ages, but they were active in a society without any towns, Christianity or church administration. This dissertation discusses a number of issues concerning the elite of the Late Iron Age. Two studies are central. The first concerns six sites in the Mälaren region: Old Uppsala, Helgö, Vendel, Valsgärde, Husby in Glanshammar parish, and Ancient Sigtuna. The sites are compared to study the similarities and differences of elite settings. I investigate the evidence of different sources for the presence of great landownership, and of their importance for the rulers compared to other resources such as plunder, trade and taxation. The results indicate that the sites had many structural and economic similarities. At the same time, the resource use varied, and each site had its own unique character. The study is concluded with a discussion on the economic structure of the sites.
The second study deals with the elite in the vicinity of Uppsala, an area that mainly through Old Uppsala and the presence of boat graves are usually connected with ancient rulers. The investigation is mainly based on a number of excavated as well as non-excavated graves, some of which have never been published. In addition, a number of placenames and three unique ritual deposits are discussed. The study indicates that the people usually included in the concept of elite were quite common. This provides a new perspective for our view of two long renowned sites: Old Uppsala and Valsgärde.

Adgilis deda. Sacred places, narratives and place-making practices in the North-Eastern regions of Georgia (Southern Caucasus).
Georgian Eastern Highlands (Pkhovi, Tusheti) constitute a peculiar cultural landscape, characterized by the presence of specific types of sacred sites: shrines (salocavi), icons (khati/jvari), wishing trees (naṭvris kheebi), old churches and the so called “Mother of the Place” (adgilis deda), the latter being particularly worshipped for the protection of each village.
Georgian highlanders tell many stories (andrezi) about the foundation and life of the shrines: in these mythological narratives, as well as in their strongly spatialized symbology, pagan and Christian cosmologies intertwine in complex representations and practices, resulting in a very interesting sacred geography.
Despite an evident problem of depopulation, the local communities (temi) still exhibit a strong connection to their land and sanctuaries: during an intense summer cycle, each of them celebrates its own Patron by joining his shrine and performing a day-long ritual (dgheoba) guided by the khevisberi, a man who mediates between villagers and deities and is the most authoritative storyteller of the community.
Taking cue from the ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Georgia during 2009 and 2010, my dissertation explores the relationships between andrezi, ritual practices and the local sense of place.
After reviewing the many narrative layers deposited on the whole Caucasian area through history, I describe the territorial organization of the sanctuaries and its connection to social boundaries and relationships; in the third chapter I interpret the Pkhovian sacred geography in the light of its foundation myths and argue for the interpretive potential of a narrative approach to the cultural landscape, whereas in the last part I reconstruct the way in which those stories interact with ritual practices and provide an important insight into some local historical experiences, such as the feudalization and the Christianization of the Country.

This master’s project and report examines the correlation between social inequity and vacancy to develop a phased revitalization strategy for Raytown, Missouri. The perception of vacant built landscapes cause people to interpret places as having no productive use (Corbin 2003). Vacant spaces appear void of opportunities and are fueled by a capitalist society where markets move toward the urban fringe in order to remain competitive (Fainstein 2010). Vacancy creates a cultural response that “erodes the local social fabric, [signifying] the ills of neglect, [and] communicating to people the futility of inner-city living” (Jakle and Wilson 1992, 175). As a result, people passing through a community dismiss these vacant spaces because what they see is a place of little value. The perception of vacancy can lead to severe social inequity as society’s affluent members move from inner-city cores. Economic viability and the overall quality of life begins to decrease. Building on the Creating Sustainable Places Initiative for the Kansas City region and planning efforts for redeveloping the currently unused Rock Island Rail Corridor, this project explores how vacant built landscapes within Raytown’s Central Business District can be reprogrammed to establish place identity. Through critical mapping, key equity dilemmas at the metropolitan level are brought forth to identify issues that can be addressed through corridor redevelopment in Raytown. Mapping vacancies in the Raytown CBD identifies current vacant parcels. Together, the identification of vacant parcels with parcel size indicates primary redevelopment sites that can readily support higher density development in anticipation of a potential rail transit system. Using a phased approach, temporary design solutions regain public interest in the community, while working to develop mixed-use neighborhoods, pedestrian oriented streetscapes, and improved open space amenities at future build out. Strategies at each phase provide opportunities for community gathering and living choices that accommodate a variety of people. Studying social inequity and vacancy allows landscape architecture professionals the opportunity to better understand this phenomenon and promote community revitalization through the creation of welcoming places for all people.

This study undertakes an analytical, historical reconstruction of the rural, social and political space of Baronia di Monreale, currently part of the Medio
Campidano province of Sardinia, Italy. The expression “reconstruction of the rural, social and political space” entails an investigation into the various means by which the territory is exploited,
the formation and development of economic and political élites in the villages, the various forms of property ownership (conveyancing of land and property), the urban demographic patterns of villages as well as the various
typologies of dwellings . The investigation starts off with a historical exploration of the main events in
Sardinia in modern times, focusing on those concerning the Monreale area. The central part of the present study is devoted to an in-‐‑depth analysis of practices of the use of rural, agricultural space from the late Medieval period
up to early contemporary times. The research has focused in particular on the creation and development of the
estates of large landowners: records and maps in the Land Registry Office have been essential and fundamental research tools, thanks to which a graphic representation of the larger estates was made possible. The following section focuses on the social and political relations within and
among the several communities. It was possible to reconstruct the dense network of family relations which
linked the Monreale élite to people in the cities and in the rest of the region. In order to do this, both genealogical and the micro-‐‑historical approaches
have been employed, with the purpose of retracing the trajectories and the interconnections which enabled some of the representatives of Monreale families to occupy significant political and military roles in the national arena. The last part of the research has been devoted to the impacts and effects that human intervention had on the rural landscape. Land use, the testamentary dispositions, the conflicts between barons and communities have produced
far-‐‑reaching effects overtime, which have profoundly transformed the modern and contemporary landscape.
The main objective of the study is to provide an overview of the several aspects that have contributed to shaping the places which are the subject of this research. The outcomes will have some practical applications in such
areas as integrated planning, landscape conservation and development as well as in structured planning in sectors such as agriculture and handicrafts. Archive research was undertaken at Cagliari State Archives, Turin State
Archives, Historical Diocesan Archives in Ales and the historical archives in Guspini, San Gavino and Sardara municipalities. The private archives of the Orrù and Diana families were consulted, as was that of the ecclesiastic Lorenzo Tuveri from Sardara.

This report is the product of a study funded by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) entitled, The Arizona Strip Cultural Landscape and Place Name Study. The study has five main objectives: (1) to provide an overview of American Indian Cultural Landscapes and their relevance for federal agency practices, (2) to describe the ethnographic, historic, and cultural bases for Southern Paiute communities’ access to particular sites within the Arizona Strip, (3) to identify Southern Paiute place names, trails, and stories associated with selected cultural landscape sites within the Arizona Strip, (4) to include descriptions of the cultural significance of natural resources and physical environmental features at selected cultural landscape sites, and (5) to determine the need for future studies based on gaps identified in the historic and ethnographic record. The study is intended to serve as a foundation for identifying and managing Native American resources, cultural sites and cultural landscapes on the Arizona Strip.
This report is focused on direct interviews with Southern Paiute people at places in the Arizona Strip. These locations were chosen to represent kinds of places that are culturally significant to Southern Paiute people. These include rock art sites, archaeology sites, springs, rivers, canyons, mountains, lava flows, and areas with special vistas. These places were chosen by representatives of the involved tribes, Arizona Strip BLM staff, and the project director at the Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology at the University of Arizona. This is a first study of its kind funded by the Arizona Strip and so a study goal was to see what kinds of contemporary cultural importance would be assigned by Indian people to kinds of places. It was thus impossible to go to all places of cultural significance in the Arizona Strip so the study lays a foundation for more comprehensive studies in the future.

This second volume, Southern Paiute History and Place Names, draws upon historical accounts, diaries, and oral histories to document Southern Paiute occupation and use of the Arizona Strip from the time of European and Euro-American contact until the middle of the twentieth century. It also includes Paiute names for 148 places on and in the vicinity of the Arizona Strip. These names were culled from written sources, matched where possible with a current official name (recorded in the United States Geological Survey Place Names database), and translated. All names were reviewed by a team of Paiute elders in the presence of a linguist and two ethnographers. Also included are stories related to some of the named places. The stories were taken from both archival sources and oral history interviews.

Texto completoResumen
La thèse propose d'étudier la formation d'un paysage chrétien au Danemark au cours de la christianisation (VIIIe-XIIIe siècle), en croisant les sources textuelles, matérielles, toponomastiques et cartographiques. La transition religieuse s'est déroulée de manière graduelle, non imposée par les voisins chrétiens et par l'adhésion progressive des élites. Elle implique des transformations sociales qui ont aussi des traductions spatiales, modifiant la forme, la pratique et la conception des espaces, des lieux et des paysages. La recherche menée propose d'en faire l'analyse de manière systémique, à petite échelle, c'est-à-dire avec un regard porté sur l'ensemble du Danemark historique, et en rompant les bornes chronologiques et disciplinaires (Protohistoire et Moyen Âge ; histoire, archéologie et géographie) maintenues dans la recherche. Divisée en trois parties chrono-thématiques (période missionnaire, « conversion officielle » et institutionnalisation), la thèse s'attache à comprendre les mécanismes et l'évolution de l'implantation et la sacralisation des lieux cultuels et funéraires, dont les formes sont variables d'une période à l'autre, ainsi que de l'élaboration de territoires pastoraux. In fine, il s'agit de déterminer si les expressions spatiales et monumentales de la christianisation s'inscrivent dans une continuité ou une rupture avec la période païenne antérieure et si elles trouvent des similitudes avec les christianisations réalisées en Europe aux siècles précédents. Ce travail repose sur l'élaboration de plusieurs corpus de sources textuelles et d'inventaires de monuments, d'objets et de sites (sites ecclésiaux et funéraires, mobilier liturgique, pierres runiques à caractères chrétiens, sources saintes, lieux de culte païens, habitats) jusque-là discutés séparément. L'ensemble est visualisé et analysé par le biais de productions cartographiques et d'outils SIG qui réintègrent les sites dans leur contexte (occupation biophysique du sol et occupation humaine, routes, toponymes)The aim of this thesis is to study the making of a Christian landscape in Denmark during the period of Christianisation (8th-13th century), using a combination of textual, material, toponomastic and cartographic sources. The religious transition took place gradually, not imposed by the Christian neighbours, but by the gradual acceptance of the Christian faith by the elites. It involved social transformations that also had spatial consequences, modifying the form, practice and conception of spaces, places and landscapes. The aim of this research is to carry out a systemic analysis on a small scale, looking at historical Denmark in its entirety and breaking down the chronological and disciplinary boundaries (Protohistory and the Middle Ages; history, archaeology and geography) hitherto maintained in research. Divided into three chrono-thematic parts (missionary period, 'official conversion' and institutionalisation), the thesis sets out to understand the mechanisms and evolution of the establishment and sacralisation of places of worship and funerary sites, the forms of which vary from one period to another, as well as the development of pastoral territories. Ultimately, the aim is to determine whether the spatial and monumental expressions of Christianisation form part of a continuity or a break with the earlier pagan period, and whether there are similarities with the Christianisations carried out in Europe in previous centuries. This work is based on the development of several corpus of textual sources and inventories of monuments, objects and sites (ecclesiastical and funerary sites, liturgical objects, runestones with Christian characteristics, using cartographic production and GIS tools that place the sites in their context (biophysical occupation of the land and human occupation, roads, place names)

The ideals of a democratic society coupled with the vast expansiveness of the American landscape have led to settlement patterns within the urban environment that are distinctively American and non-traditional. The continual tension between principles of collective majority rule and rights of individual equality has led to an identifiable urban form that is neither city, with its collective characteristics, nor country, with its sense of individual freedom, but a vast middle landscape where the majority of Americans live, work, shop, and recreate. The current middle landscape has developed into a place where accommodation of the automobile, providing its sense of autonomous movement, dictates the form and order of the built environment. While investing great efforts toward the development of means of movement between places - the places themselves have been forgotten. The middle landscape, a legitimate urban form rooted in the history, culture, and natural environment of American city development, has become a place that is vastly scaled and oblivious to human existence. The thesis is an examination of this middle landscape with an attempt at the making of place within an otherwise place-less environment.Master of Architecture

Texto completoResumen
Nuno Júdice est l’un des poètes portugais contemporains qui, tout au long de sa vie littéraire, a entretenu un rapport privilégié avec les arts. Le poète cherche, bien avant son premier recueil Noção do Poema (1972) et jusqu’à nos jours, à communiquer avec l’image peinte. Il instaure un subtil glissement entre poésie et peinture, mais aussi entre peinture et poésie. Il puise dans un univers de souvenirs indissociables du monde pictural. Ce dialogue fructueux et singulier avec la peinture nous permet d’observer comment l’ekphrasis devient un processus de transposition servant de base à une réflexion profonde sur le faire poétique. Notre recherche porte donc sur la relation ekphrastique qui se tisse dans toute l’oeuvre judicienne. Nous analysons, sous une approche thématique, les moyens que se donne le poète pour rapprocher la peinture du travail de l’écriture,en passant d’un atelier à l’autre. Nous partons de deux hypothèses : la première stipule que, pour Nuno Júdice, la peinture serait un moyen de relier les deux arts, permettant de récréer un autre tableau à partir des mots du poète. La seconde fait de la pratique de l’ekphrasis une possibilité de réveiller des souvenirs. En interrogeant le jeu intersémiotique et les analogies poésie-peinture, nous démontrons que paysage, lieu et corps s’articulent autour d’un seul et même principe. Peut-être s’agit-il, en dernière instance, de provoquer des sensations et de réinventer le monde ?Nuno Júdice is one of Portugal's contemporary poets who has, during his entire literary career, held a privileged relationship with the arts. Even before his first published book, Noção do Poema(1972), the poet endeavored to communicate with the painted image. He establishes a subtle slippage between poetry and painting, but also between painting and poetry. He mines a universe of inseparable memories of the pictorial world. This singular and fecund dialogue with painting allows us to observe how ekphrasis becomes a process of transposition and a base for a profound reflection on the poetic 'how-to'. Our research thus concerns the ekphrastic relationships, which are woven through his whole work. We analyze, with a thematic approach, the means with which the poet brings painting to his writing in moving from one artist's studio to another. We start from two hypotheses: the first stipulates that for Nuno Júdice, painting is the means of linking the two arts, allowing the creation of an another painting from the poet's words; the second emphasizes that the practice of ekphrasis stimulates a possibility of retrieving memories. In our interrogation of the intersemiotic play and the poetry/painting analogies, we show that landscape, place and body articulate around one and the same principle. Is it perhaps, ultimately, about provoking feelings and reinventing the world?

Cape Town's solitary fired power station was commissioned in 1961 and opened in 1962 and demolished on the 22 February 2010. A landmark to the city that was not protected under the Heritage Act as it was 48 years old. The power station is the last coalfired power station still standing in Cape Town. The site is well located between movement routes and local communities, large buildings and structures are present on site. The site offers an exciting redevelopment opportunity that can result in a variety of land uses for local and visitors, residential commercial, retail and community facilities. Although site is well located within movement routes these are boundaries, which are barriers between three distinct yet historical neighbourhoods Athlone, Pinelands and Lange. The design will use pattern from site to break down the barriers, promote connectivity through access and movement routes and create place for economic activity, recreational activity and housing.

Texto completoResumen
In Jack London: Landscape, Love, and Place, American Studies theories and methods formed the prime basis for analysis of London's biography, historical context, and literary significance. Particularly, the ideas of agrarianism, the Turner Thesis moment, Western literature, American masculinity, Victorian ideals, and sustainable farm practices in America were used to understand London's motivations for writing and creating his farm, his influence on American literature, and his texts' abilities to open avenues between literature and place-based education. Key concepts that influenced how London's works could be incorporated into and applied to didactic theory included David Sobel's seminal works in place-based education. The principle idea behind this thesis was to analyze one author and two of his works in a wider theoretical context, and then, to use that analysis to apply the theories to practical methods of educating future students in sustainable practices, place-based learning, and future work in understanding their impact on the ecosystems of their local communities and landscapes.

This thesis deals mainly with the Middle Neolithic period (ca. 3200-2300 BC) on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The aim is to deepen the understanding of how the islanders related to their surroundings, to the landscape, to places, to objects, to animals and to humans, both living and dead. The archaeological material is studied downwards and up with a focus on practices, especially the handling and deposition of materials and objects in graves, within sites and in the landscape. The study is comparative and the Middle Neolithic is described in relation to the Early Neolithic and the Mesolithic period on the island. From a long term perspective the island is presented as a region where strong continuity can be identified, regarding both way of life and economy. In contrast, substantial changes did occur through time regarding the islander’s conceptions of the world and of social relations. This in turn affected the way they looked upon the landscape, different sites and animals, as well as other human beings. During the Mesolithic, the islanders first saw it as possible to create their world, their micro-cosmos, wherever they were, and they saw themselves as living in symbiosis with seals. With time, though, they started to relate, to connect and to identify themselves with the island, its landscape and its material, with axe sites and a growing group identity as results. The growing group identity culminated during the Early Neolithic with a dualistic conception of the world and with ritualised depositions in border zones. The Middle Neolithic is presented as a period when earlier boundaries were dissolved. This concerned, for example, boundaries towards the world around the islanders and they were no longer keeping themselves to their own sphere. At the same time individuals became socially important. It became accepted and also vital to give expression to personal identity, which was done through objects, materials and animals. Despite this, group identity continued to be an important part in their lives. This is most evident through the specific Pitted Ware sites, where the dead were also treated and buried. These places were sites for ritual and social practices, situated in visible, central and easy accessible locations, like gates in and out of the islands’ different areas. The dead were very important for the islanders. In the beginning of MN B they started to adopt aspects from the Battle Axe culture, but they never embraced Battle Axe grave customs. Instead they held on to the Pitted Ware way of dealing with the dead and buried, and to the Pitted Ware sites, through the whole period, with large burial grounds as a result.

The landscape has long been the focus of my artistic research. Yet no matter how often I return to it, I continue to wrestle with how to engage, respond to, and conceptualize landscape and my place in it. I recognize "that which is real (the actuality of one's experience) butting up against the forms of cultural representation that encode it." There are two primary ways that I encounter landscape: 1) through my body and a phenomenological orientation; 2) through layers of discourse, stories, and representations. While the landscape and its features may be neutral space and objects, it is a site fraught with highly charged stories and competing systems of representation, narration, and perception surrounding the same events, time, and place.
To this end, my thesis is guided by the following questions: what stories shape my interaction with and understanding of landscape and nature? How have I been disciplined by cultural and historical scripts, media, and technology? How does a lineage of art history influence a particular way of picturing and framing the natural world? And finally, what stories do I perpetuate or contribute in my work as an artist to this discourse about landscape?

Though its causes have been theorized, little is understood about why gentrification often transforms neighborhoods in radically different ways. This thesis links previous research on gentrification with the concept of domestic property interests in an effort to better understand the micro-level processes involved in the production of a gentrified landscape. Once identified as Tucson's skid row, Tucsonans now value Barrio Historico as a historic, Mexican-American neighborhood. Some residents argue that gentrification, though slow and incomplete, is destroying the neighborhood's sense of community and tradition. Interviews with twenty-two residents assessed their domestic property interests and identified the ways in which residents either resist or encourage development. The analysis revealed how conflicts among residents with differing interests and ideological perspectives contribute to the production of the neighborhood landscape. Though not unproblematic, the analysis of residents' domestic property interests complements previous macro-scale approaches by providing a contextually based understanding of neighborhood change.

Texto completoResumen
The built environment should facilitate a meaningful experience for a user by intellectually engaging their perceptual and cognitive abilities. In 1983, Howard Gardner published his cognitive theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner theorizes that human intelligence is not one single capacity, but is comprised of multiple capacities. Many teachers use the multiple intelligences theory as a tool to reach a larger number of students by engaging their unique learning styles. The theory of multiple intelligences is one way to interpret how an individual might understand, perceive or experience their surroundings. I used Gardner's theory as a framework to develop design criteria that can be used by designers to create landscapes or environments that engage people in an intellectual and meaningful way. By designing a site that will engage different individuals' unique methods of understanding, a landscape architect can create landscapes that will capture attention and promote a unique personal experience through the creation of sense of place. I believe that this in turn can also be used as a tool for articulating design ideas and analyzing current landscapes.
My research begins with a review of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's theory of flow and what is needed to achieve this playful state. The answer is to engage a user with a challenge. This led me to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. After a review of his work, I used his theory to analyze several case study landscapes. Based on this research, I developed a set of preliminary design criteria that can be used as an outline or a starting point for designers.
I chose the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Crafts (ACC) in Smithville, Tennessee as my site for beginning my understanding of the range of uses that the multiple intelligences possess within a landscape. The ACC is a visual arts school whose mission is to preserve and educate people about the culture and techniques of Appalachian crafts. The mediums that are taught are clay, glass, metal, fibers, and wood. My design exploration lead me to concluded that the outcome of a multiple intelligences landscape will be shaped by several factors: the personal strengths and weaknesses within the multiple intelligences of the designer, the sites will determine which intelligences should be designed for, and that the design process should be a collaborative effort. Therefore, the design solution produced is not the strength of this research project, but rather the development, process, and conclusions that reveal a strong case for the inclusion of engaging users' intellectually.Master of Landscape Architecture

La Convention européenne du paysage et la problématique des Paysages Urbains Historiques proposée par l’Unesco, confirment l’importance d’une bonne connaissance des paysages pour une gestion du cadre bâti répondant aux besoins actuels. Mais, en France, les atlas du paysage, éléments essentiels de la politique paysagère s’attachent peu aux milieux urbains, apparemment pour des motifs méthodologiques. L’objectif est de réfléchir aux méthodes qui peuvent améliorer cette connaissance La première partie fait l’état de l’art du sujet, rappelle le rôle des paysages dans le bien-être quotidien individuel et collectif, inventorie les intervenants et les doctrines et établit un bilan des démarches actuelles. Une deuxième partie retrace les méthodes de la discipline géographique pour aborder les paysages de la ville et ses échanges avec d’autres disciplines : l’urbanisme, le paysage, l’architecture. La troisième partie, est une expérimentation qui s’appuie sur un atlas des paysages celui de la Meurthe-et-Moselle, et approfondit le territoire de la Métropole du Grand Nancy. La méthode retenue, issue de la pratique des transects, est accompagnée d’analyses paysagères ponctuelles relevant de la méthode des volets paysagers prévus par la loi Paysage de 1993. Une dizaine de secteurs est examinée : centre, entrée de ville, lotissement, grand ensemble zones industrielles. Cette approche permet de formuler quelques propositions méthodologiques qui clôturent l’expérimentationThe European convention of the landscape and the problem of the Historic Urban landscapes proposed by UNESCO, confirm the importance of a good knowledge of the landscapes for a management of the built frame answering the current needs. But, in France, atlas of the landscape, essential elements of the landscaped politics, don’t take into consideration the urban landscapes, apparently for methodological motives. The objective is to think about the methods which can improve this Knowledge.The first part makes the state of the art of the subject, calls back the role of the landscapes in the individual and collective daily well-being, lists the speaker and the doctrines and establishes a balance sheet of the current steps. A second part redraws the methods of the geographical discipline to approach the landscape of the city and its exchanges with other disciplines: the town planning, the landscape, the architecture. The third part is an experiment which leans on an atlas of the landscapes of Meurthe-et-Moselle and deepens the territory of the Metropolis of Grand Nancy. The reserved method, stemming from the practice of transect, is accompanied by limited landscaped analyses coming from the method of the statutory landscaped based on the Landscape Law of 1993. About ten sectors are examined: center, city entrance, lot, large set industrial parks. This approach allows to formulate some methodological proposals which enclose the experiment
