Landscape and Identity: Interdisciplinary Explorations of Being in the World

Durham University, Durham/UK

26 - 27 March 2020

The interrelation between human identities and the landscapes and
environments they inhabit is recognised in many disciplines throughout the
Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences. With different disciplinary
histories, backgrounds, research traditions, and paradigms, all these
disciplines employ their own theories, approaches, and methods to study the
link between landscapes, environments, and human identities across time and
space. However, they all share common interests as well.

 

On the occasion of the establishment of Durham University's
interdisciplinary Landscape, Environment, and Identity Research Network,
this workshop aims to provide a platform for cross-disciplinary
conversations and collaborations aimed at the integration of different
theories on, approaches to, and research methods for exploring the
interrelations between landscape, environment, and identity. For how are the
terms landscape and identity used and problematised across disciplines, and
what issues arise from these ideas? 

 

This workshop will therefore offer an opportunity for PhD students and Early
Career Researchers from a range of disciplines to come together and share
their research on landscape and identity beyond their own discipline. We aim
to investigate challenges to such interdisciplinary studies (e.g. due to
different research traditions) and to discuss solutions to these issues. Our
discussions are intended to form the basis of a collective output and to
encourage future collaborations. 

 

By bringing together researchers from various disciplinary backgrounds,
including but not limited to Anthropology, Archaeology, Classics and Ancient
History, English Literature and Geography, we are hoping to consider
questions that all disciplines have been asking individually, such as: 

*	How are different identities established through human interaction
with landscape or environment? 
*	What (combination of) methods and approaches may we employ to
analyse and interpret this interrelation between identity, landscapes and
environments, whether real or imagined, urban, industrial, or natural? 
*	How is human identity or sense of self affected when a landscape or
environment changes, for instance due to war or conflict, political
developments, natural disasters, tourism, climate change, etc.? 
*	How does this in turn affect their interactions and/or relations
with other peoples?
*	How can our academic research into different landscapes,
environments and identities help address current issues in wider society,
such as the dynamics between local and global identities, and our relation
to a changing world that is subject to climate change?

 

We invite abstracts for 20 minute papers that address these questions from
any perspective. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to):
identity in relation to (changing) political, built and natural environments
or landscapes; the shaping of the self and the environment; and the
intersection between landscape, identity and topics such as memory, emotion,
gender, and sensory experiences (e.g. sound, smell, or taste).

 

Following the workshop, we will seek to produce one or more collective
outputs, both academic and non-academic, based on the contents of the
workshop. The exact form will depend on the ambitions and contributions of
participants, but could include the following:

*	An edited book
*	A special issue of an interdisciplinary journal
*	An online blog
*	A piece for The Conversation 

 

If you would like to join the discussion and present a paper at this
workshop, please send an abstract of up to 250 words to
landscape.identity.durham at gmail.com
<mailto:landscape.identity.durham at gmail.com>  before 5pm (GMT) on Friday 15
November 2019. Thanks to a generous contribution from our sponsor, Durham
University's Institute of Advanced Study, there will be no conference fee.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Applicants will be selected and
notified by mid December 2019.
