Landscapes on the move
This paper takes a fresh look at Celia Fiennes' account of her tour of England, Wales and Scotland, at the end of the seventeenth century. Travelling on horseback, and sometimes on foot, Fiennes recounted her experiences of journeying through the country, commenting on the physical qualities and characteristics of the landscapes she moved through, together with local customs, industrial and agricultural processes, and places of curiosity and note…
Gathering around stories
This paper explores the creative uses of stories and storytelling to engage groups and individuals with consideration of changes in energy systems across time and place. It summarises three story-based experiments that responded to the theme of ‘energy utopias’. These are drawn from the three core strands of a much wider body of work undertaken within the Stories of Change project. This took stories as a central motif and organising device to ref…
Senses of Place, Senses of Time
A vast and varied literature exists on the history and archaeology of vernacular landscapes, yet still heritage ‘value’ is often weighted towards the extravagant landscapes created by powerful elites. This article is concerned to bring the wealth of historic landscape and archival research closer together with recent theoretical writing on landscape and dwelling, by focusing on the early modern period in particular. Recent theoretical approaches …
Custodians of Memory
The paucity of female deponents asked to give evidence before the Westminster equity courts has led some historians to conclude that women were marginal figures in disputes concerning local customary law and land use rights. This article adopts a qualitative approach, examining the oral testimonies provided by women to gain insight into the parameters of female knowledge and experience of landscape and the division of local resources. It is argue…
Landscape, memory and custom
Human relations are never simply between people, they always involve things as well. Relations are always material and social at once, so that material culture is not an added extra in social life
The after-life of barrows
This paper considers the function and meaning of Bronze Age burial mounds in the later medieval and post-medieval periods. Far from being the redundant relics of a distant past, it is argued that these monuments were integral to the organisation and interpretation of the physical environment. The perceived antiquity and permanence of barrows ensured their recurrent use as boundary markers, and as places of meeting and execution, and new monuments…
America's Balkan Disengagement
In the world after 11 September, international attention to the Balkans will decline. Western priorities are shifting, and drawing resources with them. The region's historic window of opportunity, which opened at the end of the 1990s, may be swinging shut. Changes to the transatlantic relationship will have multiple knock-on effects on policies and attitudes toward the region. These are likely to include the accelerated disengagement of the Unite…
