James Duncan convincingly argues that landscapes are not only culturally produced, but that they also influence governing ideas of political and religious life. Using extensive archival sources, architectural analysis and mapping, the author reveals how the Kandyan landscape was designed to foster a certain hegemonic reading that spoke of the power, benevolence and legitimacy of the kings in their capital.
In this book James Duncan convincingly argues that landscapes are not only culturally produced, but that they also influence governing ideas of political and religious life. He analyzes this dialectic relationship between landscape and the pursuit of power in the royal capital of Kandy in the central highlands of Sri Lanka during the early years of the nineteenth century and demonstrates how the Kandyan landscape was consciously produced to further the perceived interests of the Kandyan kings. Using extensive archival sources, architectural analysis and mapping, the author reveals how the landscape was designed to foster a certain hegemonic reading that spoke of the power, benevolence and legitimacy of the kings in their capital.

Duncan的這本書可謂在景觀研究中開話語分析之先河。將城市(它的發展曆史、布局、活動等)看成"文本",話語分析的來源豐富且多元。Duncan詳細說明瞭曆史文本資料在構建斯裏蘭卡Kingship的重要性,對我目前的寫作Justification十分有用。

評分鄧肯的這本書一版的時間不是2005年,好像是90年代初期——我是那個時候讀到的。在文化熱的浪潮下,加之文本分析的時髦,地理學傢也開始嚮人類學學習。鄧肯對於斯裏蘭卡曆史地貌的政治文化解讀,既有實地生活與考察,又有文獻閱讀和分析。當然在城市研究的領域裏,頗為流行過一段時間。
