Modernism, modernisation and the rural landscape

MODSCAPES_conference2018

The impact of the Modern Movement and modernisation processes on rural landscapes in Europe and beyond is a widespread but little known, recognised or understood phenomenon which still exerts effects today. Within the third joint research programme of HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area) dedicated to “The uses of the past” which started in 2016, this subject is now being studied through several lenses within the MODSCAPES project. MODSCAPES welcomes proposals (full sessions, papers, trainnig/workshop) to its mid-event event, an international conference dedicated to Modernism, modernisation and the rural landscape.

1º Congresso ibero americano em estudos de paisagem

A Paisagem apresenta-se como o cenário que herdámos, onde vivemos, e donde retiramos os recursos com que subsistimos enquanto civilização e espécie. O resultado da nossa actuação sobre este património será a herança que iremos deixar aos nossos descendentes. No início do terceiro milénio, e numa sociedade submetida a mudanças culturais, que decorrem a velocidades muito superiores às que o tempo de percepção, meditação, e experimentação necessitam, o interesse pela Paisagem tem ganho uma importância crescente, que transforma a disciplina numa plataforma de investigação onde se cruzam os vários ramos do conhecimento.

Territories in turmoil - pacified territories

Representations of territories in a state of turmoil and war

Si la guerre tue, la photographie, elle, est douée d’une capacité de sidération. Dans cette mesure, l’une et l’autre suspendent, figent l’instant. Dans leurs procédures, elles s’appliquent à maîtriser, à conquérir, à capturer et entretiennent un lien fondamental avec la mort. Cette journée veillera donc à aborder un large spectre de représentations des territoires confrontés aux guerres passées et actuelles qui s’offrent comme de multiples terrains d’études, qu’investissent très largement les artistes.

Archaeology and landscape - combining study and the promotion of the cultural and natural habitats

10th national conference of the Association nationale pour l’archéologie de collectivité territoriale (ANACT)

Depuis un siècle, le champ patrimonial connaît une extension remarquable. Alors que les notions de patrimoine culturel et patrimoine naturel s’enrichissent, leurs interactions sont désormais au cœur des enjeux de connaissance, de protection et de mise en valeur. À ce titre, les sites archéologiques et les paysages qui résultent de l’interaction entre facteurs naturels et humains, entretiennent des liens particuliers. L’objet de ces rencontres est de partager réflexions et expériences sur la manière de conjuguer aujourd’hui l’étude et la mise en valeur des patrimoines archéologiques et naturels.

The gardens of tomorrow

Ce colloque s’inscrit dans le l'initiative d'excellence « jardins », qui interroge la relation entre l’aménagement du jardin, ses usages et ses représentations. L’ambition est de combiner les approches esthétiques, environnementales et patrimoniales en montrant comment le jardin – entendu dans son sens le plus large - s’impose comme un lieu d’innovation sociale et écologique. Les communications examineront les différents aménagements des jardins actuels ou en projets et se demanderont si ces espaces participent à la construction de paysages inédits ou de nouvelles formes de sociabilité.

Perspectives on Malagasy heritage as transmission and regeneration of a living patrimony

Reflections on this theme have arisen from encounters relating to the film Songs for Madagascar, completed in 2016. Given the rich significance of the question of heritage, the main issues are how to keep alive and even continue to shape and transmit this legacy with its roots in the past and the present. Heritage requires continuous regeneration so that future generations can built on it and adapt it to the present without losing its identity

Tourism in Indonesia and Southern Countries

A vector of sustainable development?

The objective of the conference is to analyze the effect of tourism, questioning more specifically in this second edition its potential for becoming a vector of sustainable development, understood in its more general sense. Within this framework, we will question its economic impact, as well as its social effects, on Indonesia and Southern countries. We are interested in knowing how extra income is redistributed to the local population and whether it affects, or on the contrary, strengthens the traditional organizations of the communities, bringing new actors, investors, decision-makers in the traditional social organization.
