  Garden cities for the 21st century

  Valorization, preservation and challenges in France, Europe and the world

  The aim of this symposium is to put into perspective the different dimensions of a common heritage stemming from the garden city concept developed by Ebenezer Howard in 1898. An overview of the situation, a comparative approach and postulations on possible futures are expected. Four lines of thought and questioning are envisaged. The themes will transversally address the dimension of the built environment and the outdoor space, at different scales encompassing collective spaces of sociability, materiality of places, representations, practices, and so forth.

  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.

  Labels in the field of cultural and natural heritage

  Created in the 60s, the label's use for cultural and natural heritage has increased dramatically for several years, specially in France. Inherited from the marketing and trade world, the use of labels for cultural and natural heritage illustrates the expansion of heritage's conception to new artefacts and new cultural properties, in an anthropological meaning. Some recent studies on the cultural and natural heritage labels  insist on the economic benefits for development of territories. But the legal and institutional dimensions of labels in heritage have been ignored. The goal  of the symposium is to define and precise the purposes and the caracteristics of labels in the field of heritage.
