| The perspectives of full time and hobby farmers, foresters, biologists or visitors to the countryside might serve as examples of different and often conflicting interests in the same areas. In lectures the students will be introduced to different methods (from semiotics, anthropology, hermeneutics etc.) for analyses of perceptions of nature. Further, values of selected groups of people will be presented and discussed. Based on introductory lectures the use of different methods for investigations of perceptions of nature will be excersised. The students will have to write 1 essays chosen in respect to 5 exercises of which 2 are based on group work and 1 on a personal landscape experience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
