Title

  • Mapping the Landscape: Vision, Memory & Place-Making

Summary

  • Xin Conan-Wu gave a richly illustrated lecture exploring the story of mapping the landscape in 12th-century China, when the center of politics and economy was shifting from the north to the south and military defeats spurred a new search for identity. Wu examined visual, physical and textual materials in poetry, paintings, prints, architecture, gardens, landscape and philosophy and explored the impact of pedagogy and ritual upon vision and place-making, as well as the relationship between education and natural environment.
