This volume breaks new ground by conceptualizing physical
landscapes as living cultural bodies. It redefines dynamic cultural
landscapes as catalysts in which the natural world and human
practice are inextricably linked and are constantly interacting.
Drawing on research by eminent archaeologists, numismatists and
historians, the essays in this volume * Provide insights into the
ways people in the past, and in the present, imbue places with
meanings; * Examine the social and cultural construction of space
in the early medieval period in South Asia; * Trace complex
patterns of historical development of a temple or a town, to
understand ways in which such spaces often become a means of
constructing the collective past and social traditions. With a new
chapter on continuity and change in the sacred landscape of the
Buddhist site at Udayagiri, the second edition of Negotiating
Cultural Identity will be of immense interest to scholars and
researchers of archaeology, social history, cultural studies, art
history and anthropology.
