Pressezitat
«In this richly documented book Patrick Laviolette offers a distinctive perspective on metaphor and landscape in the creation of cultural identity. Situated intellectually within a panorama of postmodern sources and the critique of the politics of representation, the work is intentionally fragmented, highlighting juxtaposition, cultural paradox and some of the parodies of social distinction in the Duchy of Cornwall. Laviolette's novel take on the anthropology of landscape foregrounds pastiche in a manner that is both provocative and insightful.» (Dr. Eric Hirsch, Reader of Anthropology and Head of Department, Brunel University, London)«Within the scope of a multi-sited project, this monograph explores how cultural metaphors of identity get embedded and materialised into the social and geographical landscape. Patrick Laviolette's study is a nuanced, compelling and handsomely illustrated account of the regional dimensions of culture, especially as this relates to wider concerns for Western European ethnography and the anthropology of landscape.» (Professor Andrew Dawson, School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne)
