In addition, the past decade has seen visual artists \u2013 working across a variety of mediums \u2013 make an important contribution to these debates by encouraging us to see, and experience, the landscape in different and sometimes strikingly counter-intuitive ways \u2013 hence the \u2018unruly landscape\u2019 focus of our title which was inspired, in part, by Jen Southern\u2019s recent exhibitions (see Unstable Landscapes and Unruly Pitch, Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts).<\/p>\n<p>Co-hosted by CeMoRe (Lancaster University) and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility &amp; 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 \u2018mobilised landscapes\u2019 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\u00a0 use our complex understanding of \u2018landscape-as-practice\u2019 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?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest Speaker:\u00a0 Tim Ingold,\u00a0 Department of Anthropology, University of\u00a0 Aberdeen, UK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Topics for discussion may include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Landscape and\/as Climate Emergency<\/li>\n<li>Changing Landscape Practices<\/li>\n<li>Contemporary Archaeology and the Changing Landscape<\/li>\n<li>Re\/Disappearing Landscapes<\/li>\n<li>Landscapes of High and\/or Slow Mobilities<\/li>\n<li>Landscapes of Migration\/Migratory Landscapes<\/li>\n<li>Urban Unruly Landscapes<\/li>\n<li>R\/Urban entanglements in mobile landscapes<\/li>\n<li>Mobility, Memory and Landscape<\/li>\n<li>Sensory Landscapes<\/li>\n<li>Changing Roadscapes<\/li>\n<li>Transforming Transport Corridors<\/li>\n<li>Synergies or conflicts between landscape justice and mobility justice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Participation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Participation 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.\u00a0 The organising committee will select papers with the view of maximising interdisciplinary discussion and the sharing of expertise.\u00a0 We invite a variety of presentation formats \u2013 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.\u00a0 Given that this event is not externally funded we will require participants to pay a conference registration fee of \u00a375 (UK) and to cover the cost of their own transport and accommodation to Lancaster (suggestions for where to stay will be provided).<\/p>\n<p>Please email your paper proposal (300 words max) and short biography (including details of up to 4 relevant publications) to <strong>unrulylandscapes@gmail.com by 28 February 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The committee will aim to let applicants know which proposals have been accepted by mid-March.\u00a0 A website for the conference will be launched once the programme has been agreed together with a Conference Booking Form<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact for paper proposals:<br \/>\n<\/strong>unrulylandscapes@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Convenors:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Lynne Pearce (Lancaster University)<br \/>\nMargherita Cisani (University of Padua)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Organizing and Scientific Committee:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Lynne Pearce (Lancaster University)<br \/>\nJen Southern (Lancaster University)<em><br \/>\n<\/em>Margherita Cisani (University of Padua)<br \/>\nGiada Peterle (University of Padua)<br \/>\nLaura Lo Presti (University of Padua)<br \/>\nChiara Rabbiosi (University of Padua)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Unruly Landscapes\u2019 is sponsored:<br \/>\n<\/strong>CeMoRe (Lancaster University)<br \/>\nCentre for Advanced Studies in Mobility &amp; Humanities, DiSSGeA (University of Padua)<br \/>\nDepartment of English Literature and Creative Writing (Lancaster University)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Colloquium Co-hosted by CeMoRe (Lancaster) and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility Humanities (University of Padua) June 18-19 2020, Lancaster House Hotel, Lancaster University, UK Call for Papers While 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 [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":4284,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"mec_category":[897],"class_list":["post-5458","mec-events","type-mec-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mec_category-workshop"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec-events\/5458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec-events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mec-events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5458"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5458"},{"taxonomy":"mec_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mec_category?post=5458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
