Memory, Mourning, Landscape

Memory, Mourning, Landscape
An interdisciplinary, one-day symposium

University of Glasgow, 9 June 2008

Keynote speakers: Bridget Fowler (University of Glasgow), Avril Maddrell (University of the West of England)

Plenary Lecturer: Jay Winter (Yale University)

Call for papers: One hundred years after Freud, the debate about how memory and mourning work continues. Increasingly scholarly attention is paid to the role of place and space in memorialising - whether in commemorations of individuals or in marking mass deaths. At the same time, experts in a variety of fields are finding new significance in the different ways of "saying goodbye" (or not saying goodbye). The aim of this symposium is two-fold: to explore the links between memory, mourning and landscape, and also to investigate more deeply these themes as separate entities. The symposium will therefore be of interest to scholars across the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, including, but not limited to: literature, ancient, medieval, and modern languages, cultural studies, history of art, history, archaeology, geography, theology, sociology, psychology, and archive studies.
The symposium will offer, for those interested, a round-table discussion on fieldwork.
150-300 word abstracts are invited for15-minute papers. Please submit abstracts by email (preferably as a word document attachment) to mml.conference@gmail.com, by 1 April 2008.

Events - Performance, Learning and Heritage conference

International Conference: 3rd -5th April 2008

PERFORMING HERITAGE: RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

We are pleased to announce that the Performance, Learning and Heritage project will be hosting an international conference in April 2008. The conference will take place at the University of Manchester , and will provide a forum for discussing how research and practice in the field of museum performance/live interpretation can inform one another.

The Performance, Learning and Heritage project is an AHRC funded investigation into the uses and impact of performance as a medium for learning in museums and at heritage sites. The scope of the project is international, and since 2005, the team have been researching case study sites and carrying out a detailed mapping of practice (For further details click here). 2008 marks the final year of the project, and presents a timely opportunity for debate and knowledge exchange in this fast developing are of performance and interpretive practice.

Areas to be covered by the conference:

• Making connections : the intersection of performance/performativity, site specific practice and notions of heritage;

• Gauging impact : audience response and longer-term impact, the place of interactivity, and community outreach;

• Reports from the field : accounts and findings from research and evaluation projects in the UK and abroad. Some sessions at the conference will be devoted to the emerging findings of the PL&H research and the implications for future practice and policy making; but we are keen to hear about, and compare notes with, other research projects across the globe;

• Developing practice : examples of practice – live and recorded – to illustrate the range of performance practice and provide opportuni tie s to interrogate that practice; workshops from practitioners and academics are invited as a means of exploring how research and practice interconnect;

• ‘research at the heart of practice' – the focus will be on research as it informs practice, practice as it informs research and (not least) practice as a means of research in the museum/heritage sector.

The conference will consist of a variety of presentations: keynote addresses; academic papers (20 minutes + discussion); performances (e.g. short performances that illustrate innovative or experimental performance styles, or different approaches to interaction); workshops by practitioners or academics (e.g. exploring ways of translating research into practice, or of using performance as a research tool); panel discussions (3-4 linked papers); and round table discussions (involving short prepared ‘provocations' on an agreed theme with maximum time for debate). Most sessions will be 90 minutes duration (3-4 papers per session) unless otherwise arranged.
