Dear Colleagues,
we warmly invite submissions to the following panel on
taskscape and temporality , which will be held at the ASA conference in Durham on 4-7 July
2016.

 EXPLORING TASKSCAPE: 
NEW APPROACHES TO TEMPORALITY AND THE DOING OF THE WORLD 

 

Short Abstract:

Returning to Ingold's 1993 notion of taskscape, this
panel reconsiders the doing of the world. How does this doing emerge in studies
of Anthropocene environmental themes and in the light of more recent approaches
to temporality and environmental relations?

 

Long Abstract:

In 1993 Tim Ingold introduced the term 'taskscape' to
explain how places and landscapes emerge through the activities of 'those who
dwell therein'.  It implies an unfolding
process of temporality, challenging distinctions between built and natural
environment, form and process: between the footprints and the movements that
generate them.  Taskscape is thus the
array of activities that carries forward social life in the world and the
traces and footprints that together are the doing of the world.

 

Since 1993 much has changed in our understanding of
landscape.  Olwig's work has retraced the
etymology of landscape from the medieval polities of northern Germany defined
through customary activity to the literal meaning of the word as land shaped.  In this sense landscape connotes something
similar to taskscape: it becomes its own doing. 
In his more recent work, Ingold has moved beyond landscape to the
notions of meshwork and 'weather-world' in which the life lines and movements
of humans, other beings, wind and water flow and entangle.  More-than-human anthropology has emphasised
the need to incorporate other species into the social and, as such, the
taskscape must surely now include their activities alongside those of humans.

 

Our intention is to return to taskscape to re-evaluate
its significance in understanding human-environment relations, their
temporalities and how the world that is perceived is made.  We invite contributions that explore and
expand the concepts of temporality and taskscape in light of recent theoretical
and thematic developments, particularly more-than-human anthropology, climate
change, alternative energies, and the Anthropocene.
