palimpsest
Definition(s)
- A palimpsest is a conceptual model of a place as a multilayered structure that emphasizes the coexistence of multiple visions and impacts of different cultures on the landscape. Originally the term referred to a type of medieval manuscript in which new text was written over previous text that had been partly erased, palimpsest has become a widespread metaphor for cultural landscapes coincidentally with the rise of interest in the symbolic properties of landscape, semiotics, and representation.
