    Emma Marris presents us with a new way of viewing nature in the first chapter of her book, “Rambunctious Garden”. She explains that the definition of nature depicted in our “glossy magazines” describing a place “somewhere distant, wild and free” is incorrect, as it “blinds us” from the truth (Marris 1). Marris argues that we must adjust this definition to also include the nature found in “the bees whizzing down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan” and “the butterfly bushes that grow alongside the urban river” as well as the nature found in “managed national parks” (Marris 2). She uses experiences gained during her time spent in the forests of Hawaii and in Australia’s Scotia Sanctuary as evidence to support her argument. Marris also makes the point…

    1 – In his study of abstract art, David Halle sought to answer multiple questions about abstract art, specifically the ownership and opinions pertaining to it. First, Halle looked at who had abstract art in their homes; determining if the ownership of abstract art indicated social class, he then moved on to more subjective questions such as opinions of abstract art. Halle asked questions about who disliked and liked abstract art for a few different reasons; to learn the specific thinking behind these preferences and to learn if these preferences were linked to knowledge or perceptions within different social classes. In addition, Halle sought to refute Pierre Bourdieu’s claim that only people with cultural capital like or understand abstract…

    The idea of wilderness has been severely redefined throughout history. It has transformed from a genuine piece of nature that was not thought of to be sacred, to a museum-like section of land that needs to constantly stress the importance of conservation and protection. It is not a casual place anymore, but rather something that is not necessarily guaranteed and cannot be taken for granted. However, throughout all of the change, there is one aspect of wilderness that has remained intact. Wilderness serves as a place for people to escape; It is a getaway that allows humans to avoid reality and all the troubles that come with it.…

    Bluestone states that preservation has roots in people’s attachments to places in their society (Bluestone, 14). The public's memory and attachment to a place have an impact on the preservation of a cultural landscape or historic site. Bluestone and Wallace highlight how the tool of preservation can be a tool of destruction and how the public’s idea of cultural landscapes has changed over time. Hayden points out the relationship between memory and landscapes, including how a society becomes attached to these sites. The overall theme of the readings is the attachment that society holds to these sites and the connection that this has with the conservation of these landscapes.…

    Atwood’s representation of the landscape and the wilderness in “Death by Landscape” is employed to symbolize the inscribing of Atwood’s portrayal of the self in a post-colonial setting; as it foregrounds a post-colonial topic. The symbolic usage of the landscape illustrates the explorations of the national and geographical identities, social class, and the psychological boundaries. The wilderness illustrates the hierarchical constructions of gendered and national identities. On the margins of the state of empire, Atwood situates her story in both the landscape and the city. Both the city and the wilderness function, in differing ways, as a vehicle and a symbolic locus for the ethic identity’s strata, the historical and cultural experience, and the social class; as these meanings are portrayed through Lois and Lucy.…
