The Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research (AIHR) is organizing the research seminar “What is Landscape? Theory, Aesthetic and Politics of Landscapes” – divided over six sessions from October 2024 to Spring 2025.
Led by Noa Roei and Irina Souch, this research seminar will address these multiple identities of landscape to inquire: what is landscape, actually? What is its relation to space? To (geo)politics? To ecology? How and to what ends are landscapes imagined and mobilised in texts and visual media? What insights can landscape offer us on theoretical, ethical, and aesthetic levels? How does landscape relate to the objects and subjects that inhabit it? What are its darker secrets? What stands at the base of the desire to experience landscape, to apprehend it, to unpack its meaning?
