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。它将应用“任务景观”（Ingold 1993，153）的概念来理解城堡的存在如何影响这些社区的日常经验，并考虑他们如何看待城堡。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 and Liddiard 2008，166; Creighton 2018，367），建立在城堡及其景观作为生活多感官体验场所的成功分析基础上（约翰逊2018 a & 2018 b;库珀2014）。自1993年成立以来，任务景的概念已经在许多学术领域得到了探索和扩展，对于这个项目的目的，它是交织的空间和时间维度的城堡景观，将有助于促进我们的理解的经验，的城堡。事实上，任务景观是一种理解景观中发生的活动的时间节奏的手段，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居住和体验的多种方式的理想工具。任务景的重建依赖于将与不同规模的经验和活动相关的多种形式的数据结合起来。因此，该项目将开发一种基于地理信息系统的方法，以纳入多个数据链，包括历史地图、考古调查证据和向便携式文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场景被建模为动态和不断变化的空间，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.
