Beyond the Post-Colonial Gaze: Recognising Pachamama

Landscapes are the skin of the Earth: they reflect the environmental and cultural well-being of human communities, especially in an age of climate crisis. Focusing on Peru’s Huancavelica region, this book affirms the philosophical value of Andean cosmovision, challenging dominant aesthetic paradigms shaped by tourism and media. The book advances an original onto-phenomenological theory of landscape, bridging prevailing spatial models with insights from diverse disciplines in a transdisciplinary and innovative framework.
