from Part III - Intra-Actions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2019
The main aim of this chapter is to discuss how the perception of landscape participated in unfolding people’s worldings in the Bronze Age. It will be informed by the previous chapters’ emphasis on different types of human and bird intra-actions, such as the importance of find context and the depiction of birds, the active role of the media in unfolding the message, and the enthralling agencies of avian creatures. In this context, it might be seen as a truism to underline that rock art perpetually engages with landscapes, though it is created on and in relation to landscapes. However, what meaning and significance can we ascribe to this relationship? Here I will argue that we can explore this grounded relationship more thoroughly through the “absence” of our everyday experience of open-air landscapes. The stage is therefore set to a number of dusky caves in central Norway.
