Productions of Landscape: Space, Place and the Capital of Nature in California, 1848-1917.

利用与景观有关的空间和地点的新理论模型，我的博士学位将论证与非人类自然更密切的文化和经济接触推动了加州走向现代化。从1848年的美国吞并到1915年的旧金山世界博览会，工业实践和艺术表现越来越多地利用环境，不是通过鲁莽的消费，而是通过谨慎的培育：资本积累需要这样做，新兴的环保主义提倡这样做。我对1880-1917年北加州文学景观的MRes概述了空间-地点框架，我的博士将其扩展为跨学科的全州范围的研究。除了文献之外，我还利用政府报告、工业研究、建筑规划和期刊，将景观视为环境、经济和文化力量的物化。我通过将它们的地理位置提炼成形成结构（空间）和物理位置（地点），将这些不同的来源交织在一起。

Using a new theoretical model of space and place in relation to landscape my PhD will argue that closercultural and economic engagement with non-human nature propelled California to modernity. From USannexation in 1848 to the 1915 San Francisco world's fair, industrial practices and artistic expressionsincreasingly exploited the environment not through reckless consumption but careful cultivation: capitalaccumulation required it, and emerging conservationism advocated it. My MRes on northern Californianliterary landscapes from 1880-1917 outlines the space-place framework that my PhD expands into aninterdisciplinary, state-wide study. Using government reports, industrial studies, architecture plans, andperiodicals in addition to literature, my PhD treats landscapes as materialisations of environmental,economic, and cultural forces. I intertwine these diverse sources by distilling their geographies intoformative structures (space) and physical locations (place).
