SUMMARY:Unruly Landscapes: Mobility, Transience and Transformation
DESCRIPTION:A Colloquium Co-hosted by CeMoRe (Lancaster) and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility Humanities (University of Padua)\nJune 18-19 2020, Lancaster House Hotel, Lancaster University, UK\nCall for Papers\nWhile the vast numbers of publications dedicated to the study of landscape over the past half-century might suggest that there is little more to say on the subject, the infusion of new perspectives from scholars working across a range of disciplines vis-a-vis the new mobilities paradigm, non-representational theory, posthumanism, the digital humanities and geohumanities has ensured that debates in the field are as lively and innovative as ever from a theoretical, methodological and critical perspective. In addition, the past decade has seen visual artists – working across a variety of mediums – make an important contribution to these debates by encouraging us to see, and experience, the landscape in different and sometimes strikingly counter-intuitive ways – hence the ‘unruly landscape’ focus of our title which was inspired, in part, by Jen Southern’s recent exhibitions (see Unstable Landscapes and Unruly Pitch, Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts).\nCo-hosted by CeMoRe (Lancaster University) and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility & Humanities (University of Padua), this one-and-half-day colloquium invites researchers from across the humanities and social sciences to share with us their recent work on ‘mobilised landscapes’ of different kinds. Our objective is to debate not only our ever-expanding theoretical and experiential understanding of landscapes and lifeworlds, but also to focus on the way in which landscape, broadly conceived, can function as a context, image or tool, to address the most topical and urgent issues of our times connected with diverse mobilities such as migration or mass tourism, the urban and the climate emergency and our transition to low-carbon lifestyles. For example, in what ways can we  use our complex understanding of ‘landscape-as-practice’ to help society and culture negotiate the period of rapid environmental change and disruptive urban dynamics that we are now embarked upon? How can we imagine, live and narrate landscapes differently oscillating between the past, the present to possible futures?\nGuest Speaker:  Tim Ingold,  Department of Anthropology, University of  Aberdeen, UK\nTopics for discussion may include:\n\nLandscape and/as Climate Emergency\nChanging Landscape Practices\nContemporary Archaeology and the Changing Landscape\nRe/Disappearing Landscapes\nLandscapes of High and/or Slow Mobilities\nLandscapes of Migration/Migratory Landscapes\nUrban Unruly Landscapes\nR/Urban entanglements in mobile landscapes\nMobility, Memory and Landscape\nSensory Landscapes\nChanging Roadscapes\nTransforming Transport Corridors\nSynergies or conflicts between landscape justice and mobility justice\n\nParticipation\nParticipation in the colloquium will be limited to between 12-20 speakers in the interest of ensuring a meaningful group discussion in a single room venue.  The organising committee will select papers with the view of maximising interdisciplinary discussion and the sharing of expertise.  We invite a variety of presentation formats – e.g., traditional paper presentations (limited to 20 minutes max), shorter overviews (10 minutes max) for project reports or the presentation of ongoing creative research or art works.  Given that this event is not externally funded we will require participants to pay a conference registration fee of £75 (UK) and to cover the cost of their own transport and accommodation to Lancaster (suggestions for where to stay will be provided).\nPlease email your paper proposal (300 words max) and short biography (including details of up to 4 relevant publications) to unrulylandscapes@gmail.com by 28 February 2020.\nThe committee will aim to let applicants know which proposals have been accepted by mid-March.  A website for the conference will be launched once the programme has been agreed together with a Conference Booking Form\nContact for paper proposals:\nunrulylandscapes@gmail.com\n Convenors:\nLynne Pearce (Lancaster University)\nMargherita Cisani (University of Padua)\nOrganizing and Scientific Committee:\nLynne Pearce (Lancaster University)\nJen Southern (Lancaster University)\nMargherita Cisani (University of Padua)\nGiada Peterle (University of Padua)\nLaura Lo Presti (University of Padua)\nChiara Rabbiosi (University of Padua)\n‘Unruly Landscapes’ is sponsored:\nCeMoRe (Lancaster University)\nCentre for Advanced Studies in Mobility & Humanities, DiSSGeA (University of Padua)\nDepartment of English Literature and Creative Writing (Lancaster University)\n \n
