«L'invention du paysage» is Anne Cauquelin's essay on the cultural construction of landscape, published by PUF in paperback (181 pages, in French).
Anne Cauquelin argues that landscape is not a direct, transparent view of nature but a cultural construction: we make it with tools, framing, and language. The essay traces how this notion was invented, recalls that the Greeks had no equivalent word or concept, and analyzes how landscape situates the perception of time and space.
The essay was published in 2002 in the Quadrige collection of Presses Universitaires de France - PUF.
Work for readers of philosophy of art and aesthetic theory, especially those studying the representation of landscape.
