Landscapes on-the-move

Landscapes on-the-move Both archaeologists and anthropologists have been slow to address the question of how people on the move engage with landscape. Anthropologists have tended to discuss the larger political and social terrain of diaspora without too much consideration of what this might involve in terms of intimate and personal engagement. Archaeologists espousing a more phenomenological approach have focused on intimate and personal engagement with place and well-worn territory, without acknowledging that these often work within larger, less familiar landscapes of movement. The article attempts to move between the two approaches, between different and interlocking scales of human activity and understanding. It attempts to show that however ‘out of place’ people may be, they are also always ‘in place’. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Social Archaeology SAGE

Abstract

Both archaeologists and anthropologists have been slow to address the question of how people on the move engage with landscape. Anthropologists have tended to discuss the larger political and social terrain of diaspora without too much consideration of what this might involve in terms of intimate and personal engagement. Archaeologists espousing a more phenomenological approach have focused on intimate and personal engagement with place and well-worn territory, without acknowledging that these often work within larger, less familiar landscapes of movement. The article attempts to move between the two approaches, between different and interlocking scales of human activity and understanding. It attempts to show that however ‘out of place’ people may be, they are also always ‘in place’.
