In the common imagination, the notion of landscape remains firmly attached to the rural world. On the contrary, It remains complex to define what urban landscapes could constitute. This process, to which the emergence of social sciences and their conversations with artistic and literary fields contribute, intensifies with the development of imaginaries and techniques for disseminating representations of the city, whether through engraving, photography, low-cost printing or the popular novel, then through cinema, video and 3D modeling. These representations of urban landscapes speak of uses as well as systems of domination, the formalization of colonial landscapes as much as the hegemony of the commodity landscape in the capitalist city, but also leisure landscapes or those shaped by demands for a right to the city.
Collective work under the direction of Lise Lerichomme (Artist and teacher-researcher in visual arts at the University of Picardie Jules Verne and at the Center for Research in Arts and Aesthetics of the University of Amiens) and Sophie Suma (contractual lecturer in Cultural History of Architecture and the City at the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA Strasbourg) and doctor in visual arts and architecture, she also teaches visual studies and Design at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Strasbourg). Contributions by Daniel Payot (“Looks and Legends of Landscapes”); Lise Lerichomme (“Social Landscapes”); Katrin Gattinger (“Street furniture as a figure of artistic adjustments to politics”; Guillaume Bonnel (“The invisible city”); Caroline Guittet (“Constructing the social memory of urban landscapes: which photographer for which representations?”); Bruno Steiner (“Landscape testing in Strasbourg: between grand manifest narrative and situated explorations”); Sophie Lapallu (“How to live in the city? When art takes to the streets: Street Works”); Sophie Suma (“The mall as landscape”); Vivien Philizot (“Kodak’s Colorama and the construction of the gaze in the urban landscape”; Sarah Calba and Olivier Crocitti (“The task of Sketch-up”).
