As Ingold has described the term: "just as the landscape is an array of related features, so – by analogy – the taskscape is an array of related activities."

Of key importance, is that taskscape as well as landscape, is to be considered as perpetually in process rather than in a static or otherwise immutable state. Cultural anthropology, also called social anthropology or socio-cultural anthropology, is one of four commonly recognized fields of anthropology, the holistic study of humanity. ...
