Description
In various debates concerning the multiple crises that have marked the first quarter of the 21st century, the notion of landscape has become a pivotal term: from the rhetoric of global organisations to social media imagery, and from the Venice Biennale to tourism advertising campaigns, 'landscape' travels across different spheres of culture, interconnecting notions of beauty and survival, heritage and leisure, natural resources and identities. Whether in strategies for efficiency and ‘resilience’ in the face of total environmental catastrophe, or in approaches that challenge human-centric worldviews, the notion of the landscape is there, making it increasingly imperative to critically examine this growing topicality and ubiquity. What lies 'under' the landscape?The Symposium Under the Landscape took place in the islands of Santorini and Therasia from 26th June to 29th June 2022. The Symposium was the third instalment of a series of events organised by Boulouki in Santorini and Therasia. Following two applied (field-research and construction) workshops, the Symposium aimed to be a theoretical counterpart and to generate an interaction between different fields around the study of landscapes. It comprised keynote lectures by distinguished thinkers and a three-day workshop for young researchers (PhD students, early-stage Post-Docs) and practitioners from all disciplines that engage critically with landscape and its transformations (architecture/landscape architecture, environmental studies and ecology, geography, ethnography, history, archaeology, fine arts, etc.).
