Living in an Anthropocene: Reconciling Culture and Nature for a Sustainable Future

Research output: Chapter in Book or Conference Publication/ProceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

A founding principle of the Landscape Convention, the anthropocentric turn is potentially at odds with both contemporary material culture and agency theory, as well as public sentiment regarding human culpability for biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution. Reflecting on the phenomenological origin of the definition of landscape in the Convention, the paper considers how the new paradigmatic standing of culture and cultural heritage in Sustainable Development Goals indicates a context where both perspectives can align harmoniously and productively.
