Landscape Conflicts

Abstract

In this paper we address landscape conflicts as conflicts between background expectancies of everyday routines and their breaching in a space that has been brought together in perception to a unity of city park landscape. More specifically, an attempt was made in the Old Botanical Garden in Tübingen to break the anticipated norm of space use by a learning person with material office equipment and to induce a conflict of norms through this disruption of everyday expectations. This was made visible via the empirical approach of a breaching experiment by recording and documenting the re-normalizing reactions of park users via (partly participant) observation. This paper is written within a social constructivist understanding of landscape, introduced the approach of ethnomethodological breaching experiments, and triangulated five researcher perspectives in the empirical approach. Overall, it became clear how conflict can be operationalized for making everyday landscape practices in the City Park visible.
