This book contains papers first presented at the Centre of Excellence in Cultural Theory annual conference «Spatiality and Visualisation of Culture - Nature Relationships», held in
Tallinn, Estonia on 22-24 October 2009. In combining the approaches of various disciplines, the objective is to open up the discussion of the spatiality of culture and to examine ways of constructing nature and domesticating landscapes in various locations at different times. The ontological separations of nature and culture are challenged through consideration of recent humanist and ecological perspectives on space and time in the context of nature as performative expression: as something one constructs, as well as contemplates.
