Sammanfattning

Landscape was a central concept when geography began as a modern scholarly discipline during the nineteenth century, but within twentieth-century mainstream Anglophone geography it was peripheralized by the narrowing of the field to a science of space. This weakened the unity of geography as a discipline concerned with the historically developing relationship between society, nature and place, as expressed in the phenomena of landscape, which was vital to the integration of physical and cultural geography. An overview of some of the dominant schools of landscape studies illustrates how each of these schools represent significant shifts in understanding of what the landscape is and its place in geographical discourse.
