Le paysage géographique entre mythe et réalité

Abstract

We chose as the object of study of this section, the landscape as a symbol, myth and also its extensions, to build a sense, on the image of a certain place. The concept of geographical landscape is part of the discourse that puts order in the world, world which is seen visually by each of us by the senses according to the mental structure of each. The natural and artificial elements that overlap in the speech and present the visible aspects of the landscape, are those taken under discussion. The purpose of this study is to describe and explain the landscape as a sign and myth. We want to show in this study how the signs of the landscape are likely to bear fruit in the landscape analysis. The discussion is always open to new contributions. The landscape is the subject of many questions: it became an object of thought that makes use of methods, modes of rationality, representation types, which are part of history and different philosophies.
