Parallel to this, the field of environmental humanities poses the question of how to work with the intermeshing of humans and their surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo allow the environment back in as an active agent of change, means that landscape archaeology can deal better with issues such as global warming, an escalating loss of biodiversity as well as increasingly toxic environment. However, this does not leave human agency out of the equation. It is humans who reinforce the environmental challenges of today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scholarly field of the humanities deal with questions like how is meaning attributed, what cultural factors drive human action, what role is played by ethics, how is landscape experienced emotionally, as well as how concepts derived from art, literature, and history function in such processes of meaning attribution and other cultural processes. This humanities approach is of outmost importance when dealing with climate and environmental challenges ahead and we need a new landscape archaeology that meets these challenges, but also that meets well across disciplinary boundaries. Here inspiration can be found in discussions with scholars in the emerging field of Environmental Humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental humanities a rethinking of landscape archaeology?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSjoerd Kluiving, Kerstin Lidén, Christina Fredengren\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNature and society: an integrated multi-perspective landscape approach in practice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOscar Jacobsson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravel books as landscape archaeology reports: from history to ecological responsibility: The Example of British and American Travellers in the Pyrenees\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancoise Besson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragments of the Wild: Wordsworth¿s Yew Trees and Contemporary Archaeology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndrew Hoaen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeological and historical findings reveal differential anthropogenic substrate control in unique streets of Diemen, The Netherlands\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonald van Gelder, Sjoerd Kluiving, Inger Leemans, Ruben den Ouden, Jan Goedhart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRe-thinking Deep Time Landscapes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristina Fredengren\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9789464270037\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9789464270037","offer_id":39466684940381,"sku":"9789464270037","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73461_bcf7d4d9-b913-4717-b039-068888edf772.jpg?v=1786595613","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/environmental-humanities-a-rethinking-of-landscape-archaeology-von-s-j-kluiving-k-liden-c-fredengren-hrsg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
