景观意义一方面要对其符号化的表征元素进行解读,另一方面也要关注其不可表征的意义。本研究梳理了国外新文化地理学视角下的景观研究,发现:①表征视角下,一方面景观既被看作文化的产物,又是不同时期文化的再生;另一方面景观在权力博弈中曲折发展并推动其象征性意义的演变。②非表征视角主要关注日常生活行为、情感等方面所反应的社会变迁以及所感知的多元、复杂与不稳定的景观意义。国内新文化地理学视角的景观研究在西方思潮的影响下,对一些具体案例进行了尝试性研究,取得了一定的成果。本研究有助于中国学者结合转型期中国政治、经济、文化背景,构建具有中国特色的新文化地理学景观理论体系,推动新文化地理学在中国的良性发展。
With the development of new cultural geography, space and landscape are not limited to the "con- tainer" of culture, but the important force in the production of culture. The symbol in the landscape is materi- al and visible, with its ideology, which means the result of long-term accumulation and action of the land- scape in the context of the situation. Feelings, emotions, behavior, ideas, and so on, which hiding behind the representative unable to figurative, are also the important part of landscape but can't be read. These cannot be symbolic practice is rooted in historical, social, cultural and political background of the landscape, with a deep imprint of the geography, also due to the randomicity and subjectivity, practice can often more sensitive to reflect the changes in the landscape and its significance. So when we study landscape, we should focus on both symbolic representation and non-representational meaning. Western scholars have studied the system and theory of landscape. Through the review of theory and practice study, this study traces both representa- tional and non-representational study of landscape, and we found that: 1) Representational study mainly fo- cuses on culture and power: on the one hand, the landscape can be regarded as the product of culture, and al- so the regeneration of culture in different periods. On the other hand, with the power game, landscape twists and turns and promote the evolution of the symbolic significance of power. 2) The landscape study of the non-representation perspective mainly focuses on the social changes of daily life, emotion, and other aspects of the social changes and their perceived diversity, complexity and instability.
