Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the edge ecotone in building a diverse social and economic past that contradicts traditional “prairie” narratives around settlement, economic development, and culture. She offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian West.

Summary:
Wood was essential to the survival of the Venetian Republic. To build its great naval and merchant ships, maintain its extensive levee system, construct buildings, fuel industries, and heat homes, Venice needed access to large quantities of oak and beech timber. A Forest on the Sea explores the history of this enterprise and Venice's efforts to extend state control over its natural resources. Karl Appuhn explains how Venice went from an isolated city completely dependent on foreign suppliers for wood to a regional state with a sophisticated system of administering and preserving forests. This publication offers a completely novel perspective on how Renaissance Europeans thought about the natural world. It sheds new light on how cultural conceptions about nature influenced political policies for resource conservation and land management in Venice.

Ce numéro accueille des contributions s'appuyant sur des études de cas (Yann Lafolie sur l'Atelier solidaire à Lille, Nadine Cattan sur les femmes srilankaises à Beyrouth, Léa Hommage sur la pratique nomade et l'espace urbain à Ulaanbaatar en Mongolie, Bruno Hervé sur le déplacement d'un village au Pérou, Frédéric Pousin sur Garrett Eckbo, Bruno Laperche sur un observatoire palestinien des paysages, Anne-Christine Habbard sur la Partition de l'Inde et du Pakistan, Isabel Lopes Cardoso sur les discours sur le paysage au Portugal), et d'autres interrogeant la mobilité comme phénomène social et politique contemporain (Étienne Tassin à travers la notion de «condition migrante», Michel Agier de «paysage global» des camps, Barbara Bender de «Landscapes on-the-move», Vilém Flusser de «philosophie de l'émigration», François Gemenne de «paysage migratoire»).
