Resumo
In this second volume of Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology, Christopher Tilley delves into the intricate relationship between the human body and the perceived world. He argues that landscape is not merely a visual backdrop but a dynamic, embodied experience shaped by our senses, movements, and memories. Drawing on phenomenology, particularly the work of Merleau-Ponty, Tilley explores how our bodily engagement with the environment creates meaning and a sense of place. He examines diverse examples, from prehistoric rock art and pilgrimage routes to contemporary urban spaces, demonstrating how bodies and images intertwine to produce a lived landscape. The book challenges traditional dualistic views of mind and body, subject and object, offering a nuanced understanding of the embodied nature of human experience in the world.
