Credit Points: 15
 
Description:
Many environmental issues confronting the world today have a human dimension involving people’s relationship with the earth. This unit explores this relationship beginning with a historical account of the cultural construction of nature. The unit then moves to a consideration of landscape aesthetics, focussing particularly on photography, as one of the major ways in which we relate to nature and nature is mediated to us. The unit concludes by looking at Aboriginal Country, bioregion, livelihood and symbiosis as providing alternative, and even oppositional, ways of being and living with the earth that are environmentally sustainable.
