[ePub] The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde in Arts-Photography

Description

This absorbing volume examines the cultural role of rock art for the Apsaacute;alooke; or Crow; people of the northern Great Plains. Their extensive rock art developed within the changing cultural life of the tribe. Individual knowledge and meaning of rock art panels; however; relies as much on collective concepts of landscape as it does on shared memories of historic Crow culture. Using this idea as a focus; this book:-introduces Plains Indian rock art of the 19th century as we know about it from its own stylistic conventions; ethnographic data; and historical accounts;-investigates the contemporary Crow discourse about rock art and its place within the cultural landscape and archaeological record;-argues that cultural concepts of space and place are fundamental to the way rock art is discussed; experienced and interpreted.
