Castles and Communities: Using the taskscape to explore the attitudes, activities, and lived experience of wider communities in castle landscapes bet

这个项目分析了居住在赫里福德郡和萨福克郡中世纪城堡周围的非精英社区的生活经历。它将运用“任务景观”的概念（Ingold 1993,153）来理解城堡的存在如何影响这些社区的日常体验，并考虑城堡是如何被他们感知的。在这样做的过程中，该项目解决了围绕城堡及其景观的非精英体验的研究中公认的空白（Creighton和Liddiard 2008,166; Creighton 2018, 367），建立在对城堡及其景观作为生活多感官体验场所的成功分析的基础上（Johnson 2018a & 2018b; Cooper 2014）。任务景观的概念自1993年创立以来已经在许多学术领域进行了探索和扩展，为了这个项目的目的，它是城堡景观的空间和时间维度的交织，这将有助于提高我们对城堡体验的理解。事实上，任务景观是一种理解景观的方式，根据其中发生的活动的时间节奏，将这些活动锚定在物理空间中，使其成为研究中世纪城堡景观的多种居住和体验方式的理想工具。任务场景的重建依赖于与组成它们的不同规模的经验和活动相关的多种形式的数据的组合。因此，该项目将开发一种基于地理信息系统的方法，以整合多种数据，包括历史制图、考古调查证据和向便携式古物计划报告的发现，以及历史数据。这种方法将允许城堡任务景观建模为动态和变化的空间，由构成它们的活动塑造。

This project analyses the lived experiences of the non-elite communities who inhabited the landscapes around medieval castles in Herefordshire and Suffolk. It will apply the concept of the 'taskscape' (Ingold 1993, 153) to understand how the presence of castles affected the everyday experiences of these communities and considers how castles were perceived by them. In doing so, the project addresses a recognised lacuna in research around the non-elite experiences of castles and their landscapes (Creighton and Liddiard 2008, 166; Creighton 2018, 367), building on successful analyses of castles and their landscapes as places of lived multi-sensory experience (Johnson 2018a & 2018b; Cooper 2014).The concept of the taskscape has been explored and expanded across numerous academic fields since its 1993 inception, and for the purpose of this project it is the intertwining of spatial and temporal dimensions of the castle landscape that will help advance our understanding of the experiences of the castle. Indeed, taskscape is a means of understanding landscapes in terms of the temporal rhythms of the activities which took place within them, anchoring these activities in physical space, making it an ideal tool for investigating the multiple ways in which castle landscapes were inhabited and experienced in the Middle Ages. The reconstruction of taskscape relies on combining multiple forms of data relating to the different scales of experience and activity which comprise them. As such, this project will develop a GIS-based approach to incorporate multiple strands of data including historical mapping, evidence from archaeological investigations and finds reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme, as well as historical data. This approach will allow for castle taskscapes to be modelled as dynamic and changing spaces, shaped by the activities which constituted them.
