Military landscapes can assume different forms and functions; yet, by controlling vision and movement, they impose shared strategies of seeing upon geography and the environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilt around such fundamental concepts as representation, scale, nature, gender, and memory, \u003ci\u003eMilitary Landscapes\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to reevaluate the role of militarization as a fundamental factor in human interaction with land. Moving beyond discussions of infrastructure, battlefields, and memorials, it foregrounds the representational role of military landscapes across different historical periods, geographical regions, and territorial scales, covering a wide range of subjects, including the home front and refugee camps. It contributes to scholarship by shifting the focus to often overlooked factors, such as local knowledge, traditional technology, and physical labor, highlighting the historical character of militarized environments as inherently gendered and racialized. By juxtaposing and synthesizing diverse disciplinary perspectives, this volume seeks to develop a more inclusive and nuanced definition of military landscapes under the framework of landscape theory, based on their understanding as a physical reality as well as a cultural construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anatole Tchikine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884024784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884024781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Anatole Tchikine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491759517951,"sku":"9780884024781","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc97ec9c-19c4-4e58-bbcd-1bdad3faa05b.jpg?v=1699453071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/military-landscapes-anatole-tchikine-9780884024781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
