Landscape justice, place and quality of life in ‘archipelagic’ worlds

Abstract

This special issue is concerned with landscape justice understood as people’s emplaced right to landscape as a common good of importance to their quality of life in a world of landscapes conceptualized as being archipelagic in character–even when they occur within continents. Archipelagic refers to landscapes that have an insular character, which gives each a special historical and cultural identity, but that are also are linked to other landscapes in a meshwork of interactions. The issue includes articles on Greek and Faroese literally archipelagic landscapes, as well as articles from Denmark, Italy and even Argentina.
