Experiencing the Landscapes of Medieval Anatolia
Edinburgh University Press (Verlag)
978-1-3995-4345-3 (ISBN)
What does it mean to be somewhere? To what extent, and in which specific ways, is the way we experience the land historically—and therefore culturally—specific?
In Landscape and Experience in Medieval Anatolia, Nicolas Trépanier explores how travellers, urban elites and peasants related to the rural territory of medieval Anatolia, revealing how the same land could generate profoundly different experiences in a time of transition from Byzantine to Muslim rule.
Through its use of landscape phenomenology, the book offers historians not only an alternative to the ‘Spatial Turn’ that concentrates on historical subjectivities, but also an epistemologically-grounded way to integrate fieldwork into their research. It also proposes a new perspective on the phenomenological approaches that have polarized landscape archaeology over the recent decades. More than anything else, however, this book shows readers of any background how history can provide fresh perspectives on our own modern experiences of the land.
Nicolas Trépanier is Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Mississippi. Born and raised in Bas-St-Laurent (Eastern Québec), he earned a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2008) and has held research positions at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (Istanbul) and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study. He is the author of Foodways and Daily Life in Medieval Anatolia (University of Texas Press, 2014) as well as two novels.
