The Anthropology of Landscape: Perspectives on Place and Space (Oxford Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Landscape has long had a submerged presence within anthropology, both as a framing device which informs the way the anthropologist brings his or her study into 'view', and as the meaning imputed by local people to their cultural and physical surroundings. A principal aim of this volume follows from these interconnected ways of considering landscape: the conventional, Western notion of 'landscape' may be used as productive point of departure from which to explore analgous ideas; local ideas can in turn reflexively by used to interrogate the Western construct.The Introduction argues that landscape should be conceptualized as a cultural process: a process located between place and space, inside and outside, image and representation. In the chapters that follow, nine noted anthropologists and an art historian exemplify this approach, drawing on a diverse set of case studies. These range from an analysis of Indian calendar art to an account of Israeli nature tourism, and from the creation of a metropolitan 'gaze' in nineteenthcentury Paris to the soundscapes particular to the Papua New Guinea rainforests. The anthropological perspectives developed here are of crossdisciplinary relevance; geographers, art historians, and archaeologists will be no less interested than anthropologists in this reenvisaging of the notion of landscape.
