Haugeland (1998) eloquently describes the relation between mind and world as one of intimacy, a ‘commingling’ or ‘integralness’ of mind, body, and world. Cognition depends as much on aspects of the agent’s environment as on the agent’s inherent properties. Because it is the joint effect of these properties that control cognition, their contributions to individual cognitive processes cannot be considered one by one. As Haugeland observes, the level of cognitive complexity that an agent can attain at a given point in time is a function of the properties of agent and environment taken together. Consequently, cognitive processes cannot be understood. | SCENOPHOBIA GEOGRAPHY AND THE AESTHETIC POLITICS OF LANDSCAPE by Karl Benediktsson mense canyon through 50 km long tunnels to a valley further east where an underground power station is under construction. Tall grey electricity pylons are also being planted in that valley towering over the humble birch trees. In a fjord not far away on the east coast an international army of labourers is constructing a very large aluminium smelter. Owned by the American multinational Alcoa the smelter is supposed to bring an abundance of jobs and general well-being to this previously stagnant part of Iceland. A true megaproject is taking shape. It involves large corporate actors such as the US aluminium company Alcoa and the contracting firms Impregilo and Bechtel headquartered in Italy and the US respectively. The developmentist Icelandic state is also a major player 2 promising cheap energy - and lots of it - to Alcoa and to the global aluminium industry at large. In the process some remarkable landscapes are being irrevocably transformed. Although the largest of its kind the Kárahnjúkar project is only the latest albeit probably not the final chapter in a long history of struggle for the landscapes of Iceland between the interests of capitalism and conservation. Most hotly contested are the landscapes of the central highland. In fact the scramble for resources has greatly intensified in recent years fuelled by the impending privatization of the power industry. The value of those landscapes is being determined in powerful units that are widely respected mega giga terawatts and ultimately in monetary units that are widely understood dollars euros krónur. Those arguing for caution and conservation have been effectively sidelined by a public relations machine second to none orchestrated by Lands-virkjun the national power company. In a highly competitive market economy under the conditions of globalization is there any space for alternative visions and valuations of landscapes .
