Kenneth Robert Olwig (b. 1946) is an American-born landscape geographer, specializing in the study of the Scandinavian landscape. He is best known for advocating a "substantive" understanding landscape, one that incorporates legal and other lived significances of landscape, rather than viewing it in a more purely aesthetic way. His writings include ''Landscape, Nature and the Body Politic'' (2002) and ''Nature's Ideological Landscape'' (1984). Olwig is a professor of landscape architecture at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp, Sweden, where he joined the faculty in 2002.〔 He commutes to the university from Copenhagen, Denmark.〔 He is married to anthropologist Karen Fog Olwig.〔 ==Early life and education== Olwig grew up in a Scandinavian neighborhood of Staten Island, New York. His father was sports editor for the ''Staten Island Advance''. Olwig left high school early to attend Shimer College, which for more than 50 years has offered an early entrance program for talented high schoolers ready to enter college early. He did a junior year abroad in Denmark, which he has credited with initiating him into "the core issues of Nordic identity", and graduated in 1967. For graduate school, Olwig attended the University of Minnesota, where he completed a master's degree in Scandinavian language, literature, history and geography in 1971. Olwig has characterized the subject of his master's degree as "Scandinavian philology,"〔 and philological inquiry has remained a staple of his writing. For his doctorate, Olwig transferred to the geography department, where his advisor was Yi-Fu Tuan. He completed his doctorate in 1977;〔 his dissertation was titled "The morphology of a symbolic landscape : a geosophical case study of the transformation of Denmark's Jutland heaths circa 1750-1950." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Olwig」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
