Definition

The term ‘taskscape’ is derived from the word ‘landscape,’ and its creation is attributed to anthropologist Tim Ingold. He proposes envisaging the studied space as a field of activities that are not to be understood separately, but rather grasped in their interactions. By analogy with musical composition, this notion invites the development of a rhythmic study of spaces and their multiple forms of habitation, much to the detriment of a more topological approach which would consider space as a patchwork of distinct activities.

Bibliography

« Whereas both the landscape and the taskscape presuppose the presence of an agent who watches and listens, the taskscape must be populated with beings who are themselves agents, and who reciprocally ‘act back’ in the process of their own dwelling. In other words, the taskscape exists not just as activity but as interactivity. »

« In other words, every task exists as part of what I have called a taskscape, understood as the totality of tasks making up the pattern of activity of a community. »
