Learning Landscapes. Introduction

As is well known, in and out of geography Landscape Studies represent by now an established and transversal field of research; an archipelago of questions capable of set off and involving knowledge and heterogeneous perspectives - all this, in a constant expansion of questioning that we recognize as "connected to" and "intertwined with" this concept. Different ways of looking, speaking, doing, living, studying, etc. the landscape open up precious paths of deepening of ourselves, of others, of our lives (present, and future), generating a long series of interpretative options. Indeed, the abandonment of the traditional morphological and objectifying vision has projected on this concept new ethical, political, functional, symbolic, planning, post-representational functions, and values.
