Abstract
The concept of moral landscapes addresses the interrelationship between landscapes and moral values and judgments; it concerns how particular symbolic and material landscapes both shape and reflect notions of ‘right/wrong’, ‘good/bad’, ‘appropriate/inappropriate’, and ‘natural/unnatural’ in relation to particular people, practices, and things. It also concerns the ways in which certain moral boundaries are naturalized in, and through, landscapes, in the interplay of their material and representational forms and related significations. There are four discernable, yet interlinked, contemporary loci of geographical thought that deal with moral landscapes: conduct in place; moral practice and landscape; landscape as polity; and landscape and social justice. The use of a moral lens in order to understand human geography more broadly, and landscapes in particular, is not always given explicit acknowledgment. Furthermore, debates have moved on to a focus on justice, ethics, particularly in terms of ‘ethics of care’ and ethics related to ways of doing/practicing human geography.
