In recent years, various theoretical advances have provided new scholarly approaches to the study of the concept of ‘landscape’. Common to most of these approaches is that objects acquire meaning through social attribution and cannot actively contribute to the production of landscape. Actor-network theory (ANT) calls for the abolition of the separation between the natural and the social to better study the emergence of complex ‘actor networks’ in the interaction between human and non-human actors. This approach is used to examine the diverse socio-spatial urban landscape of Tübingen, using the evaluation of various qualitative data collections in conjunction with the principles and methods of ANT to identify actors and trace the relationships involved. The possibilities and limitations of the empirical application of ANT to landscape are explored also.

摘要

In recent years, various theoretical advances have provided new scholarly approaches to the study of the concept of ‘landscape’. Common to most of these approaches is that objects acquire meaning through social attribution and cannot actively contribute to the production of landscape. Actor-network theory (ANT) calls for the abolition of the separation between the natural and the social to better study the emergence of complex ‘actor networks’ in the interaction between human and non-human actors. This approach is used to examine the diverse socio-spatial urban landscape of Tübingen, using the evaluation of various qualitative data collections in conjunction with the principles and methods of ANT to identify actors and trace the relationships involved. The possibilities and limitations of the empirical application of ANT to landscape are explored also.
