Abstract

Abstract This essay explores the Passaic River Valley in New Jersey and it utilizes the concept of re-voicing discussed by literary critic James Woods to call attention to the ways certain experiences of the land legitimize the stories we tell, and, conversely, to call attention to the ways certain stories of the land legitimize the experiences we remember. Data on topography, land use, demographics, floods and chemical toxins provide factual support. Experienced-based observations on time and place by poet William Carlos Williams and artist Robert Smithson establish tone and meaning. To depict the layers of this topography and their points of intersection, the essay presents the landscape synchronically as concurrent moments in time, and diachronically as change over time. The Passaic River, in its dual role of entity, or thing, and metaphor, or meaningful idea, unites the exploration and serves as the point of focus.

这篇文章探讨了新泽西州的帕塞伊克河谷，它利用文学评论家詹姆斯·伍兹讨论的重新发声的概念来唤起人们对土地上的某些经历使我们讲述的故事合法化的方式的关注，反过来，唤起人们对土地上的某些故事使我们记住的经历合法化的方式的关注。地形、土地利用、人口统计、洪水和化学毒素方面的数据提供了事实依据。诗人威廉·卡洛斯·威廉姆斯和艺术家罗伯特·史密森对时间和地点的经验观察奠定了基调和意义。为了描绘地形的层次性和交点，本文将景观呈现为时间上的同步时刻，并将其呈现为时间上的变化。帕塞伊克河以其实体或事物和隐喻或有意义的观念的双重角色，将探索统一起来，成为焦点。

期刊介绍： JoLA is the academic Journal of the European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS), established in 2006. It is published three times a year. JoLA aims to support, stimulate, and extend scholarly debate in Landscape Architecture and related fields. It also gives space to the reflective practitioner and to design research. The journal welcomes articles addressing any aspect of Landscape Architecture, to cultivate the diverse identity of the discipline. JoLA is internationally oriented and seeks to both draw in and contribute to global perspectives through its four key sections: the ‘Articles’ section features both academic scholarship and research related to professional practice; the ‘Under the Sky’ section fosters research based on critical analysis and interpretation of built projects; the ‘Thinking Eye’ section presents research based on thoughtful experimentation in visual methodologies and media; the ‘Review’ section presents critical reflection on recent literature, conferences and/or exhibitions relevant to Landscape Architecture.
