Subject:

Description:

PQ: Consent of instructor. This course is a critical examination of the uses of landscape and place in anthropological archaeology and allied disciplines. Landscapes have been treated as a basis for theoretical projects, as analytical frameworks, and as historical phenomena. Beginning from a consideration of situated histories, we discuss approaches to place-making, the formation of social geographies, the production of social memory, historical ecologies, and monumentality and commemoration. In every case, we pay close attention to the sources of historical knowledge and the methods by which these sources are used to construct knowledge claims about the past. M. Lycett. Not offered 2009 C10; will be offered 201 0 -11.
