A region long traversed by various transient peoples (from tribes and conquerors to immigrants, traders, and trappers), the West reflects a mythic quest for settlement, permanence, and synthesis-even notions of a national or global identity-at odds with its rootless history, culture, and nature.Postwestern horizons.Place (Philosophy) in artIdentity (Philosophical concept) in artArts, Modern20th centuryWest (U.S.)In artPlace (Philosophy) in art.Identity (Philosophical concept) in art.Arts, Modern700/.45878Campbell Neil1957-604968MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826798703321The rhizomatic West3957990UNINA
