  Call for papers - Representation

  From furrow to skyline - lines and landscapes

  Global views of the landscape

  Les départements d’histoire de l’art et de géographie de l’université Rennes 2 organisent un colloque interdisciplinaire autour des lignes et des figures géométriques qui s’inscrivent dans les paysages naturels et anthropiques. Il s’agira d’appréhender les paysages selon leurs structurations rythmiques en lignes et en figures afin de croiser différentes conceptions du paysage d’une part, et d’interroger notre aptitude à reconnaître et à identifier un paysage d’autre part. De ces rencontres, ce colloque espère dégager la possibilité d’esquisser une théorie commune du paysage.

  Surviving the End of the World as We Know It

  Historical and Geographical Perspectives

  Great natural disasters which have struck populations (floods, hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, massive droughts, etc.) are part of the intricate history of human communities and their relationship with their environment, contributing to social and cultural changes within these communities. This call for papers focuses on a multidisciplinary  approach and suggests that applicants: Study and investigate the various responses given to disasters in ancient and modern times; Analyze the evolution of public policies dealing with natural risks and their consequences on land planning; Study long term factors of adaptation to risk which reveal a territory’s resilience; Provide a specific interest in coastal regions.
