For an anglophone reader familiar with the extensive critical literature on landscape in English, the title of this book raises many expectations. Within art history and beyond, landscape painting and design have come to be regarded as deeply political, because landscape is regarded as a way of seeing and representing the natural world, historically bound to the exercise of authority and power over land and territory. It comes therefore as a surprise to read in the book’s preface that ’art experts ... have totally eliminated the political element from landscape painting’ and the hope that the book ’will show that political pointers need not impair our appreciation and perception of the landscape, but actually sharpen them’ (pp. 7-8). Such a claim only makes sense in the specific context of the original German text. Martin Warnke is Professor of Art History at the University of Hamburg, and the literature upon which his book draws is overwhelmingly German. We know that Landschaft has a broader and less necessarily visual meaning in German than in English, and we know too (in part from Warnke’s own evidence here) how powerful and dangerous has been the political reading of landscape within the nationalist discourses of the German-speaking peoples. Undoubtedly, academic caution in handling the ideological dimensions of landscape art accounts in part for the situation Warnke identifies. But his claim must also rest in part
对于一个熟悉英语风景评论文学的英语读者来说，这本书的标题提出了许多期望。在艺术史和其他领域，风景画和设计被认为具有深刻的政治性，因为风景被认为是一种观察和表现自然世界的方式，历史上与对土地和领土的权威和权力的行使息息相关。因此，在这本书的序言中读到“艺术专家……完全消除了山水画中的政治因素”，并希望这本书“将表明，政治指针不必损害我们对风景的欣赏和感知，而是实际上使它们更加尖锐”(第7-8页)。这种说法只有在原始德文文本的特定背景下才有意义。马丁·沃恩克(Martin Warnke)是汉堡大学(University of Hamburg)艺术史教授，他的书所引用的文学作品绝大部分来自德国。我们知道，与英语相比，德语中的Landschaft具有更广泛的视觉意义，而且我们也知道(部分来自Warnke自己的证据)，在德语民族主义话语中，对景观的政治解读是多么强大和危险。毫无疑问，在处理景观艺术的意识形态维度时，学术界的谨慎在一定程度上解释了沃恩克所发现的情况。但他的主张也必须有部分依据

By examining two films, one made in 1991 and the other in 1993, we explore the emotional response to the crisis by the dispossessed and the possessors, that is: between the Miami exiles, 30 years gone from the city, and the citizens of Havana who never left and who reside there still.

The Group has been a focus of theoretical developments in cultural geography among Swiss, French and Italian geographers over the past decade, and this was the first of its biennial meetings to be held in an anglophone country with English-language scholars participating. All the 26 papers were in principle concerned with the ways in which the spaces and social identities of cities have been made and remade through communication and representation, both historically and in the contemporary world.

n the dead of night before Key West’s masked bacchanal of Halloween Fantasy I Fest 1994, a ’Key West Cuban’ wielded a sledgehammer against the huge old wooden door of the freshly renovated San Carlos Institute. In the name of recapturing the building for the ’Miami Cubans’, he smashed the lock and marred the wood. Down the street in the Hog’s Breath Saloon rumours began flying of Cuban spies capturing the San Carlos, and of a rival Cuban being chained to the San Carlos door as one more incident in a long series of symbolic acts of war between Key West and Miami Cubans. The incident epitomizes the ardent contest for control of place, the old San Carlos Institute in downtown Key West, and the struggle over ethnic identity in the island community of Key West. This paper examines ethnicity and place among the Key West Cubans, whose lack of unity in presenting their history is reflected in their struggle with the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF), the influential and politically well-organized group of Miami Cuban exiles from Castro’s Cuba.
在基韦斯特1994年万圣节幻想节的蒙面狂欢之前的一个深夜，一个“基韦斯特古巴人”挥舞着一把大锤，砸向新装修的圣卡洛斯学院巨大的旧木门。以“迈阿密古巴人”夺回大楼的名义，他打碎了锁，破坏了木头。在这条街上的猪息酒吧里，谣言四起，说古巴间谍占领了圣卡洛斯号，一个古巴对手被锁在圣卡洛斯号的门上，这是基韦斯特和迈阿密古巴人之间一系列象征性战争行为中的又一起事件。这起事件集中体现了对地方控制权的激烈争夺、基韦斯特市中心的老圣卡洛斯学院(San Carlos Institute)，以及基韦斯特岛屿社区(Key West island community)对种族认同的争夺。本文考察了基韦斯特古巴人的种族和地位，他们与古巴裔美国人全国基金会(CANF)的斗争反映了他们在展示自己的历史方面缺乏团结，该基金会是一个有影响力且政治组织良好的组织，由来自卡斯特罗古巴的迈阿密古巴流亡者组成。
