Landscape/representation/text: Craig Clunas's Fruitful Sites (1996) Abstract Critical writings in the discipline of landscape architecture are becoming more of a commonplace.1 By ‘critical’ writings is meant analyses that question the framework, borders and suppositions of a discipline, and those that refuse to accept that a discipline is ultimately defined by a series of essential and timeless truths which are to be duly discovered in myriad empirical situations. In part, such critical writings have emerged in response to some significant momentum in cultural studies and the philosophy of culture, as these rather loose disciplinary arenas have encountered and engaged theorists in landscape architecture. And perhaps increasingly, critical writings in landscape architecture are responding to work being done in cross-cultural theory that is critical of the universalizing tendencies of much European and American research in non-Western cultures.2 http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Abstract Critical writings in the discipline of landscape architecture are becoming more of a commonplace.1 By ‘critical’ writings is meant analyses that question the framework, borders and suppositions of a discipline, and those that refuse to accept that a discipline is ultimately defined by a series of essential and timeless truths which are to be duly discovered in myriad empirical situations. In part, such critical writings have emerged in response to some significant momentum in cultural studies and the philosophy of culture, as these rather loose disciplinary arenas have encountered and engaged theorists in landscape architecture. And perhaps increasingly, critical writings in landscape architecture are responding to work being done in cross-cultural theory that is critical of the universalizing tendencies of much European and American research in non-Western cultures.2
