Abstract
Growing interest in the cultural landscape in Norway in recent years has been accompanied by increasing awareness of the chaotic nature of the concept. The article discusses relationships between conceptions of landscape and approaches to its study. The idea of landscape is briefly considered historically. The paradoxical relationship between landscape change and conservation is set out. Ways in which landscape perceptions are socially and culturally constructed are illustrated with reference to recreation, tourism and agricultural policies. Similarly, Undscape is an intcrsubjective construct within different academic disciplines. Reflexivity is needed over the roles of various disciplines in the ideological and physical shaping of landscape.
