Field\work

Field\work网络的框架是农业景观的一个原型特征：田地。田地也许是人类与土地相互作用的最佳视觉例子，它体现了想象中的乡村景观，同时内在地象征着景观培育所需的工作和圈地所代表的所有权概念。该网络旨在探索和建立农业文化叙事（ager =field），将古典哲学与当前政治和地理上关于景观文化价值和意义的关注进行对话。该网络旨在通过从经典和文化地理中形成的方法论工具包，更好地理解这个领域作为一种标志性的景观形式，并利用它来询问与叙事、时间和伦理有关的文化价值的理解。我们将田野视为无形劳动的多功能场所，并通过与非学术合作伙伴的密切和创新对话，旨在使农业景观的意义多元化，并开辟将其与土地管理联系起来的途径。为了做到这一点，我们将结合基于文本的方法（使用维吉尔的《圣歌》作为模型来引发新的思维）和现象学的实践研究（思考散步，艺术品）；我们还将通过网站和中德文郡展会上的展台来尝试众包。这些可以用来回答以下问题：我们如何在创造景观价值的过程中，对文化和遗产的作用进行更多跨学科和时间敏感的描述？文本和经验在农业伦理创造中的作用是什么？文本研究和具体研究如何共同揭示关于农业场所的文化生态系统服务的更详细的视角？如何通过艺术和实践来发现与农业景观相关的社会价值？为了实现这一目标，该网络将使一系列对景观决策感兴趣的利益相关者（包括地产经理、农民、政策制定者和慈善机构）与来自AH和社会科学领域的专业艺术家和学者进行对话：从不同的角度和学科（古典学、文化地理学、文化史、经济学、英语、景观建筑学、医学、哲学和乡村政策）对人与景观的互动有着共同的研究关注。这种新颖的结合将有助于建立植根于该领域概念的可持续合作。这个研究网络的重点是德文郡。德文郡是一个特别适合考虑景观价值问题的地方；它拥有英国最大的农业经济体之一，德文郡的对冲银行（田野边界）比其他任何一个郡都要古老和广泛。北德文郡的联合国教科文组织指定的生物圈保护区是英国25年环境计划中唯一的景观先锋，并且有利益相关者对测试自然资本的方法感兴趣。我们的提议是通过与一系列合作伙伴的对话形成的，他们明确要求网络创造超越学术界的颠覆性成果。

The Field\work network takes as its frame an archetypal feature of agricultural landscapes: the field. Perhaps the best visual example of how humans and land interact , fields epitomise the imagined rural landscape, whilst inherently signifying the work that landscape cultivation requires and the notion of ownership that enclosure represents. The network aims to explore and build narratives of agri-culture (ager =field) that bring classical philosophies into dialogue with present political and geographical concerns regarding the cultural values and meanings of landscape.The network aims for a better understanding of the field as an iconic landscape form by formulating a methodological toolkit emerging from Classics and Cultural Geography, and using this to interrogate understandings of cultural value in relation to narrative, time, and ethics. We address fields as multifunctional sites of invisible labour, and through close and innovative dialogue with non-academic partners aim to pluralise meaning in agricultural landscapes, and to open up routes for relating this to land stewardship. To do this we will combine text-based approaches (using Virgil's Georgics as a model to elicit new thinking) with phenomenologically engaged research-in-practice (thinking walks, artworks); we will also experiment with crowdsourcing via a website and a stand at the Mid-Devon show. These can be used to answer questions such as: How can we develop more cross-disciplinary and temporally-sensitive accounts of the role of culture and heritage in the creation of landscape values? What are the roles of text and experience in the creation of agricultural ethics? How can textual and embodied research together uncover a more detailed perspective on cultural ecosystems services with respect to agricultural places? And how can social values in relation to agricultural landscapes be discovered together through art and practice? To achieve this, the network will bring a range of stakeholders with interests in landscape decision-making (including estate managers, farmers, policy-makers and charities) into dialogue with practising artists and academics with expertise from across AH and social sciences: scholars who share research concerns on the interaction between human and landscape, but from different perspectives and disciplines (Classics, Cultural Geography, Cultural History, Economics, English, Landscape Architecture, Medicine, Philosophy, and Rural Policy). This novel combination will work to establish sustainable collaborations, rooted in the concept of the field.This research network focuses on Devon. Devon is a particularly appropriate setting in which to consider questions of landscape-value; it houses one of the largest UK agricultural economies, and Devon hedgebanks (field borders) are more ancient and extensive than in any other county. North Devon's UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve is the UK's only Landscape Pioneer within the 25-year Environment Plan, and has stakeholders interested in testing approaches to natural capital. Our proposal has been shaped through conversation with a range of partners, who have explicitly requested that the network create disruptive outcomes accessible beyond the academic community.
