Landscapes Beyond Land: Easa, cartea 19

Editat de Arnar Arnason, Nicolas Ellison, Jo Lee Vergunst, Andrew Whitehouse
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 oct 2012
The contributors explore how landscapes become known primarily through movement and journeying rather than stasis. Working across four continents, they explain how landscapes are constituted and recollected in the stories people tell of their journeys through them, and how, in turn, these stories are embedded in landscaped forms.

Recenzii

"The main theoretical aim of the book, to move beyond a dichotomy between experience and structure in the anthropological study of landscape, is important and makes a lot of sense in relation to the existing literature on the topic - [T]his new collection is timely, - exceptionally rich and interesting and clearly demonstrate that anthropological thinking on landscape is alive and well." * Paola Fillipucci, Cambridge University
