This original and cross-disciplinary book offers an ethnographic and performative study of Yosemite visitors in order to understand human connection with and within natural landscapes. By grounding a novel “eco-semiotic” analysis in the lived reality of parkgoers, it forges surprising connections, assembling a collective account that will be of interest to disciplines ranging from performance studies to cultural geography.Dance and performance studies ;8.Human geographyCaliforniaYosemite National ParkCultural landscapesCaliforniaYosemite National ParkNational parks and reservesPublic useCaliforniaYosemite National ParkEthnologyCaliforniaYosemite National ParkLandscapesSocial aspectsPerforming artsPhilosophyEthnologyPhilosophySymbolismHuman geographyCultural landscapesNational parks and reservesPublic useEthnologyLandscapesSocial aspects.Performing artsPhilosophy.EthnologyPhilosophy.Symbolism.979.4/47Ness Sally Ann1621511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824081403321Choreographies of landscape4099804UNINA
