探索与过程公民景观

EXPERIMENTS &PROCESSES CIVIC LANDSCAPES

那些因农业种植或矿业开采行为而形成并被遗弃的场地,是世界上层次最丰富、结构最复杂和最值得关注的景观类型之一。这些场地体现了人类的材料提取过程与非人类的生态和地质变化过程之间的纠葛。这些蕴藏地球自然和文化资本的受人类影响的景观应被视为“公民景观”,它们是可以促进社会、经济和环境公平的沃土。本期的两个项目分别关注秘鲁的咖啡种植经济和波兰的后煤炭经济,通过拓展“经济利益至上”的框架以探寻资源开采景观所具有的潜在意义和价值。

Sites created for and abandoned by extracting raw materials,either for farming or mining,are among the most layered,complex,and noteworthy landscapes in the world.These sites are expressive of the entangled relationships between human processes of extraction and nonhuman processes of ecological and geological changes.These human-influenced landscapes are considered representative of a fundamental storehouse of the earth's natural and cultural capital and thus must be understood as civic landscapes,that is,a rich ground for nurturing social,economic, and environmental equity.Focusing on coffee-dominated and post-coal economies in Peru and Poland,respectively,two projects in this issue explore the underLying meanings and values of resource extraction Landscapes beyond a profit-driven agendum.
