Schon die etymologische Herkunft des Wortes deutet daraufhin, dass es sich bei Landschaften nicht um ahistorische Naturzustände handelt, sondern um sich stetig wandelnde, hergestellte Räume. Landschaften sind Ergebnis und Austragungsort von Arbeit und Austausch, ihre Form wird von menschlichen und nicht-menschlichen Kräften bestimmt.
Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen anhand spezifischer Fallbeispiele, welche Akteur·innen, Interessen und Bedürfnisse Landschaften formen. Sie erforschen damit Landschaft als einen Raum, in dem Wissen und Handeln im Anthropozän versteh- und gestaltbar wird.

The etymological origin of the word ”landscape“ suggests that it refers not to an ahistorical natural state but rather to a constantly changing, manufactured space. Landscapes are the product and arena of labor and exchange, their form governed by human and non-human forces. The essays in this book draw on specific case studies to determine the actors, interests, and needs that landscapes are informed by. They thus explore landscape as a space in which knowledge and action can be understood and moulded in the Anthropocene.
