  Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity

  We invite contributions for our Workshop “Rethinking the Technical and the Human in Global Connectivity”, happening at Humboldt University Berlin, 24-25 May 2019. The materiality of technologies and infrastructures is significant; however, we think their impact on and interaction with societies has to be analysed in a global dimension as well. We hope to establish this approach for the broader field of African History, reacting and bringing attention to a growing interest in these questions indicated in a number of recently developed research projects and publications.

  Modernism and Rurality: Mapping the State of Research (EAHN 2018 - Tallin)

  5th European Architectural History Network International Meeting, in Tallinn, June 2018

  This session aims to address, from a historical perspective, the relation between, on one side, architecture and the related disciplines, and on the other side, agriculture and rurality at large. We welcome proposals specifically mapping case studies concerned with large-scale agricultural development and/or colonization schemes conceived and (but not necessarily) implemented in Europe and beyond during modern times (late 18th-20th century), strongly connected to nation- and State-building processes, and to the modernization of the countryside. We are particularly interested in those examples which aimed to “make the difference” in both scale and numbers, entailing radical reshaping of previously uninhabited or sparsely populated areas into new, planned, “total” rural landscapes.

  The landscape and the challenge of energy transition

  Calls for propositions for articles for issue 10 of the "Projets de paysage" journal

  La revue Projets de paysage se propose de publier dans son numéro de juin 2014 un dossier thématique explorant les relations que la question du paysage entretient avec celle de l’énergie en général et de la transition énergétique en particulier. L’objectif central de ce dossier est de montrer dans quelle mesure et comment la recherche scientifique peut aider à la fois à mieux appréhender et à (re)penser la place et le rôle du paysage dans les actions et politiques aujourd’hui conduites dans le domaine énergétique.
