This issue of Elephant & Castle addresses the concept of landscape from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, challenging the common assumption that reduces it to a merely visible portion of territory or to a natural given to be observed. Landscape is thus interpreted by a plurality of scholars and researchers as a cultural, perceptual, and medial construction, taking shape through practices of representation, visual regimes, and codes for reading space, as well as a critical device through which to rethink contemporary forms of inhabiting.
