Call For Papers TAG 2010 Session S15
Liminal Landscapes: Archaeology, in between, here and there, inside and out
and on the edge.
Within this session we would like to explore the concept of liminality and
liminal landscapes within an archaeological context. The term landscapes can
be used to encompass the micro landscapes of the trench through to macro,
large scale, archaeological landscapes.
For Arnold van Gennep, there were three stages within a rite of passage,
separation, the liminal stage and re-aggregation or reintegration and this
concept of liminality forms a useful starting point to examine the role and
engagement of archaeologists within these landscapes as well as the
participants in their creation.
The session will aim to use, amongst others, the concepts of spatial,
temporal, cultural and mythological liminality as a lens through which to
examine a wide range of landscapes.
We plan to attract speakers with a diverse range of research interests from
the Neolithic and earlier periods through to Contemporary and Historical
archaeology.
Examples could include but are not limited to, Neolithic monuments,
prehistoric funerary landscapes, Roman frontiers, medieval towns and leper
colonies, first settlers and early colonials, conflict landscapes, peace and
protest camps, dividing walls and frontiers, urban landscapes and cardboard
cities and industrial ruins.
