Definition(s)

  • A keyword in British and American human geography, cultural landscape is a multivalent concept that refers to the look or appearance of the earth's surface, to how that appearance is depicted in the visual arts, to the material objects that shape its appearance, and to an area of territory. For J. B. Jackson, one of cultural landscape's most significant interpreters, this complex term can be neatly summarized as a portion of the earth's surface that can be comprehended at a glance.
