Abstract

Abstract. This article aims to provide a reinterpretation of the concept of landscape and to investigate, in some respects, its possible “new” relevance. More specifically, the analysis of “new” theoretical resources of landscape – “new” as they are yet to be explored – is linked here to an alternative interpretation of some neglected pathways of its history. I argue that the possible “new” relevance of landscape also lies in some forgotten ethical narratives on mobility that it has inherited from its chorographic roots, which I outline by re-reading some ancient and 16th-century sources. In fact, I try to show that, by virtue of this chorographic legacy, landscape may represent today a critical and destabilizing perspective, able to undermine the striated and hegemonic certainties of modern thought through the lens of human mobility and its association with an ethical conception of happiness. The final section of the article is dedicated to the theoretical contributions that the chorographic side of landscape can provide to some contemporary reflections on mobility and to geographical ideas of ethics. These theoretical contributions are regarded as an integral part of the possible “new” relevance of landscape.

景观及其可能的“新”相关性:关于人类流动性的伦理和一些被遗忘的叙述
摘要本文旨在提供对景观概念的重新解释,并在某些方面探讨其可能的“新”相关性。更具体地说,对景观“新”理论资源的分析——“新”是因为它们还有待探索——在这里与对一些被忽视的历史路径的另一种解释联系在一起。我认为,景观可能的“新”相关性也存在于一些被遗忘的关于流动性的伦理叙事中,这些叙事继承自它的地理根源,我通过重新阅读一些古代和16世纪的资料来概述。事实上,我试图表明,凭借这种地理遗产,景观可能代表了今天一个关键的和不稳定的观点,能够通过人类流动性的镜头破坏现代思想的条纹和霸权确定性,以及它与幸福的伦理概念的联系。文章的最后一部分致力于景观地理学方面的理论贡献,这些理论贡献可以为当代对流动性的一些反思和伦理学的地理思想提供帮助。这些理论贡献被认为是景观可能的“新”相关性的一个组成部分。

期刊介绍: Geographica Helvetica, the Swiss journal of geography, publishes contributions in all fields of geography as well as in related neighbouring disciplines. It is a multi-lingual journal, accepting articles in the three main Swiss languages, German, French, and Italian, as well as in English. It invites theoretical as well as empirical contributions. The journal welcomes contributions that specifically deal with empirical questions relating to Switzerland. The agenda of Geographica Helvetica is related to the specificity of Swiss geography as a meeting ground for different geographical traditions and languages (German, French, Italian and, more recently, a type of transnational, mainly English-speaking geography). The journal aims to become an ideal platform for the development of an informed, creative, and truly cosmopolitan geography. The journal will therefore provide space for cross-border theoretical debates around major thinkers – past and present – and the circulation of geographical ideas and concepts across Europe and beyond. The journal seeks to be a platform of debate also through innovative publication formats in its section "Interfaces", which publishes shorter interventions: reflection pieces on major thinkers as well as position papers (see manuscript types). Geographica Helvetica is promoted and supported by the following institutions: Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT), Geographic and Ethnological Society of Zurich/Geographisch-Ethnographische Gesellschaft Zürich (GEGZ), and Swiss Association of Geography/Association Suisse de Géographie (ASG).
