The End of Tradition? (Paperback, New)

Rooted in real world observations, this book questions the concept of tradition - whether contemporary globalization will prove its demise or whether there is a process of simultaneous ending and renewing. The link between 'tradition' and 'modern' and the geopolitical implications of this link are examined. Tradition as process of invention as seen in the making of landscapes and landscape myths is examined, And, finally, the role of tradition in the service of the nation-state is explored, showing how it can be used in the creation of both built environments and citizen-subjects.
