摘要 2004 年夏天，我和艺术家格雷厄姆·洛 (Graham Lowe) 开展了一个名为“培育温德米尔湖区国家公园 (LDNP) 内的生态”的研究项目。这一景观被认为是“英国性”的象征，通过兰开夏郡和坎布里亚郡移民后居民的具体体验和感官体验进行重新审视，试图解开游客与这一景观的互动中嵌入的多重关系，从而破坏景观的道德地理学，因为它体现了一种独特的英国情感，通常排斥英国多民族、跨地域和流动的景观价值，并且 感性。这项研究导致参与者在视觉研讨会上制作了一系列图画和描述，以及艺术家创作的一套四十幅画作。本文对这些绘画进行了研究，认为它们代表了移民社区与这片景观之间存在的价值观、感官意义和具体关系。这些团体包括来自兰开夏郡伯恩利镇的亚洲社区和居住在兰开夏郡的“混合”艺术团体。最初的图画和随后的绘画作品证明了湖区景观是一个引发恐怖、恐惧感的场所，同时也代表了天堂般的景观。
ABSTRACT During the summer of 2004, the artist Graham Lowe and I undertook a research project entitled Nurturing Ecologies within the Lake District National Park (LDNP) at Windermere. This landscape, considered as an icon of “Englishness,” is revisited through the embodied and sensory experiences of post-migration residents of Lancashire and Cumbria in an attempt to unravel multiple relationships embedded in visitor engagements with this landscape and thus disrupt the moral geography of the landscape as embodying a singular English sensibility, normally exclusionary of British multi-ethnic, translocal and mobile landscape values and sensibilities. The research led to the production of a series of drawings and descriptions made in visual workshops by participants, and a set of forty paintings produced by the artist. These paintings are examined in this paper as representing the values, sensory meanings and embodied relationships that exist for migrant communities with this landscape. These groups include the Asian community from the Lancashire town of Burnley and a “mixed” art group living in Lancashire. The initial drawings and subsequent paintings produced operate as a testimony to the Lake District landscape as a site for engendering feelings of terror, fear as well as representing a paradisiacal landscape.
