They make use of empirical material like specific artworks, films and other cultural works related to the term 'wild' to consider the aesthetic experience of nature, focusing on the untamed, the boundless, the unwieldy, or the unpredictable; in other words, aspects of nature that are mediated by culture. This book maps out the wide range of ways in which we experience the wildness of nature aesthetically, relating both to immediate experience as well as to experience mediated through cultural expression. A variety of subjects are relevant in this context, including aesthetics, art history, theology, human geography, film studies, and architecture. A theme that is pursued throughout the book is the wild in connection with ecology and its experience of nature as both a constructive and destructive force. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Nature (Aesthetics) 650 0 $a Dangerous animals. 650 0 $a Endangered species. 650 0 $a Human ecology. 650 0 $a Nature in art. 650 0 $a Nature in popular culture. 650 7 $a Aesthetics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798702 650 7 $a Dangerous animals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887636 650 7 $a Endangered species. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909658 650 7 $a Human ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 700 1 $a Bøe, Solveig, $e editor. 700 1 $a Faber, Hege Charlotte, $d 1961- $e editor. 700 1 $a Kasa, Eivind, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0961FD96C48911EDAC2163E35EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
