Chapter 4: Interpreting Place and Cultural Landscape

4.1 Introduction

Key Questions

The academic discipline and intellectual tradition of cultural geography is concerned with explaining the natural and cultural processes which have created the features in the landscape and with exploring the manner in which humans imagine, experience, transform and are transformed by their world through space and time. In this section we will take a deeper look at how we can see the cultural phenomena as they are expressed in our own neighborhood.

  1. What is a landscape? What is the difference between a landscape and a cultural landscape?
  2. What are artifacts,  sociofacts and mentifacts when using the geographic lens?.
  3. How can we use artifacts,  sociofacts and mentifacts  to for cultural landscapes analysis?
