Publisher's Synopsis

This volume offers anthropological perspectives on landscape, a topic of emerging interest not only for anthropologists but also 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 developed and developing countries in the present and the past.;This text is intended for scholars and students of anthropology, geography (human or spatial), cultural studies, and aesthetics.
