This book provides a general self-reflexive review and critical
analysis of Scandinavian rock art from the standpoint of Chris
Tilley’s research in this area over the last thirty years. It
offers a novel alternative theoretical perspective stressing the
significance of visual narrative structure and rhythm, using
musical analogies, putting particular emphasis on the embodied
perception of images in a landscape context. Part I reviews the
major theories and interpretative perspectives put forward to
understand the images, in historical perspective, and provides a
critique discussing each of the main types of motifs occurring on
the rocks. Part II outlines an innovative theoretical and
methodological perspective for their study stressing sequence and
relationality in bodily movement from rock to rock. Part III is a
detailed case study and analysis of a series of rocks from northern
Bohuslän in western Sweden. The conclusions reflect on the
theoretical and methodological approach being taken in relation to
the disciplinary practices involved in rock art research, and its
future.
