<b>From Green to Brown Landscapes—and Back Again: Urban Agriculture, Ecology and Hae-jun Lee’s <i>Cast Away on the Moon</i></b> // De paisajes verdes a marrones—y de vuelta: Agricultura urbana, ecología y <i>Cast Away on the Moon</i> de Hae-jun Lee

Urban Farm DB summary

An essay examines historical and socio-cultural shifts in urban landscapes and their cultural imagery since industrialization, then discusses bottom-up and top-down models of urban agriculture as two alternative attempts to re-embed cities within natural material cycles. It goes on to analyze the cultural urban ecology depicted in South Korean director Hae-jun Lee's film Cast Away on the Moon (2009), raising questions about what place nature holds in cities and whether working the soil can lead to regeneration.
