ABSTRACT

The article analyses the role of photography in communities’ knowledge and interpretation of historic landscape. Focus is placed on the work of photographic landscape observatories within the European framework, on issues regarding their active development at the present time, and on their effectiveness and presence in tasks related to raising awareness. The UNESCO definitions of Historic Urban Landscape and Cultural Landscape and their revisions launched a debate about the need to document and disseminate landscape —through several media— as strategies to promote reflection among the inhabitants of a region. Since the European Landscape Convention, groups, institutions, and organisations have worked towards encouraging citizen participation in the reflection on the territorial changes brought about by industrialisation, tourism, and urban growth. Along these lines, it is worth looking into the type of methodologies and tools available in photographic observatories and their ability to connect local experience with expert knowledge on historic landscape.T

摘要

本文分析了摄影在社区知识和解释历史景观中的作用。重点放在欧洲框架内的摄影风景观察站的工作，关于它们目前积极发展的问题，以及它们在提高认识相关任务中的有效性和存在。联合国教科文组织对历史城市景观和文化景观的定义及其修订引发了一场关于记录和传播景观的必要性的辩论——通过多种媒体——作为促进地区居民反思的战略。自欧洲景观公约以来，团体、机构和组织一直致力于鼓励公民参与反思工业化、旅游业和城市发展带来的领土变化。
