Homeland

Homeland is the concept of place.  It refers to the unique, distinctive and cherished aspects of place.  It is in the invisible weave of culture and in the tangible physical aspects of a place and the interpersonal aspects, the presence of relatives and friends.  Many indigenous and tribal cultures around the world are deeply concerned with spirits of place in their landscape.  Spirits of place are explicity recognised by some of the world’s main religions and western cultural movements are often deeply concerned with creating cultural forms that ‘re-enchant the land’ in order to establish a spirit of place, or ‘Homeland’.
