Abstract:
This volume offers original new anthropological perspectives on landscape, a topic of emerging interest not only for anthropologists but also for geographers, art historians, and archaeologists. It is proposed that landscape be conceptualized as a cultural process, one situated between "place" and "space". An art historian and nine noted anthropologists exemplify this perspective, drawing on various case studies from around the world, taking in modern andtraditional societies in the present and the past.
