It will conclude with a round table discussion of the most promising avenues for integrating the landscape insights offered by biographical and narrative approaches into applied landscape decision making tools.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Fourth symposium &#8211; Creative and Heritage Practice in Landscape Decision Making. 27\/7\/22<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This symposium explores how contemporary heritage practice might create a forum for landscape decision making. It will draw on the growth in participatory methodologies in heritage to explore how we might create spaces for democratising discussion around future landscape decisions. This approach engaged with academic research regarding emotion and heritage practice by exploring how narrative and biography inform the way in which we \u2018feel\u2019 about place and how this affects what we \u2018care\u2019 about and how we make decisions with regards to heritage landscapes. Hence this workshop will integrate current theory and methods around co-curation by bringing activist stakeholders into the conversation. Finally it will bring in creative practice to explore how heritage organisations might work with creativity to engage audiences with deeper issues around landscape and bring different voices into the debate. Based at the Museum of English Rural Life, the symposium draws on MERL\u2019s Arts Council England designated collection of archival, library, object and art materials related to the changing English landscape. The collection includes both the archives of pressure groups such as the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England and policy archives from government bodies such as the MAFF. Collections will be used as prompts for discussion around past approaches to making, enacting, and resisting landscape decisions, with a focus on how narrative and biography were used both by policy makers and activists in this process. A creative installation will also be used as a prompt for discussion and to catalyse future academic-creative-stakeholder co-curated creative installations at the Museum of English Rural Life and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Third symposium &#8211; Changing Landscapes, Changing Values. 22\/10\/21<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">How does it affect us when landscapes change, or when our requirements of them change?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Landscapes undergo continual modification as a result of environmental processes, associated ecosystems services, socio-economic change and political decisions. These changes are often gradual but can be disruptive and even catastrophic: for example, Parliamentary enclosure, conifer plantation, forest and heath fires, requisition by the armed services and the construction of large-scale infrastructure such as new roads, railways, housing estates and renewable energy installations. Biographical and narrative perspectives are crucial in elucidating the affective impact of different kinds, scales and rates of landscape change and also in explaining the often-chequered history of the restoration of disused landscapes such as former mines, quarries and airbases. The symposium will also examine how narratives of local, regional and national identity reconfigure landscape preferences over time.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966;font-size: 12pt\"><strong>Click on the blue links below, download and open the file to view presentations from this symposium.

A particular focus of concern in the UK context is the ways in which landscapes, especially rural landscapes, can be constructed as \u2018white spaces\u2019 that exclude ethnic minorities (Neal and Agyeman, 2006), an issue recently highlighted by MK Gallery\u2019s \u2018The Lie of the Land\u2019 exhibition and Beth Collier\u2019s \u2018Wild in the City\u2019 initiative. Class exclusion is a major and enduring structural feature of, especially, rural English landscapes, as the National Trust\u2019s \u2018People\u2019s Landscapes\u2019 initiative recognizes.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #339966;font-size: 12pt\"><strong>Click on the blue links below, download and open the file to view presentations from this symposium.

Conservation organisations such as the National Trust have achieved significant progress in adapting their properties and gardens to the needs of both younger and older visitors, but can this approach be extended to landscapes, and landscape decision-making, on a larger scale? Is it possible to give children and young people (of all backgrounds) a meaningful voice in landscape decisions, perhaps through social media and online discussion forums? How can biographical perspectives and personal narratives of this kind help landscape stakeholders to manage land assets in age-inclusive ways?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966\"><strong>Click on the links below, download and open the file to view presentations from this symposium.

Gordon, University of St Andrews<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Folksong-inspired melodies and pastoral soundscapes are commonly recognised tropes in Ralph Vaughan Williams\u2019s music, but this paper shows that his interactions with the landscape extend much further. Connections to Leith Hill Place and the surrounding Dorking countryside are specific and evident across Vaughan Williams\u2019s lifetime. Leith Hill Place was his childhood home and the ancestral family home on his mother\u2019s side. Vaughan Williams composed and conducted for the Leith Hill Musical Festival from its inception in 1905 until 1953. After two decades of living in Chelsea, the composer returned to Dorking to live at The White Gates, where he composed many of his mature works. And, with the collaborative efforts of his neighbours, the novelist E. M. Forster and producer Tom Harrison, Vaughan Williams contributed music to two local pageants that emphasised not only the history of the surrounding area but also the importance of the landscape\u2019s future. Searching for allusions in a composer\u2019s music can be problematic, but we can identify Vaughan Williams\u2019s engagement with the landscape more clearly through his activism and efforts to support preservation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1v4kP85AfUh4DCN36J1mWxeNUmMIQlyO2\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thinking Life Course, Narrative and Landscape Through Ideas of Time, Affect, Atmospheres, Ecologies of Memory and \u2018the Wake\u2019.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Owain Jones, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Humanities, Bath Spa University<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> This speculative paper seeks to question ideas of life course and what it might be to be in the (heritage) present in terms of space and time. This should have some relevance for the objectives of the programme in thinking about\u00a0\u2018how landscape stakeholders manage land assets in age-inclusive ways?\u2019 This paper draws extensively on the work of Jan Slaby of the Free University of Berlin and his work on violence, affect and time. Particularly the paper \u201cThe Weight of History: From Heidegger to Afro-Pessimism\u201d (2020). This also extends previous work I have done on the past in relation to nonrepresentational theory (NRT), and also ecologies of memories. There is no simple pay-off here in terms of management, but a series of starting points are made. Any life course and point in it, should not been seen as too defined,\u00a0<em>knowable<\/em>, linear and fixed, but more as a living turbulence or a wake in time. Every individual life course maybe much more ecological and mysterious than can be easily known. As the film \u201cOur Little Sister\u2019 shows so wonderfully, children can carry burdens and sorrows as a freight of life experience, just as much as an older person can, and joys too.\u00a0 My suggestion is that there is a need to manage landscapes so they are that are as rich, varied, and mutable as possible,\u00a0teeming with affective possibilities; messy, makeshift, always on the brink of other possibilities. This might make them places in which people, as varying flows of affective becoming out of time, can find connections, spaces and possibilities. Also, the (violent) history of any place must be acknowledged. Any heritage project needs to see itself as part of a collective truth and reconciliation endeavour.\u00a0 If that sounds extreme, consider\u00a0Hicks (2020) analysis of museums which are, in their current forms, \u2018sites of unending violence, ceaseless trauma, colonial crimes committed again every morning as the strip lights click on\u2019 (Riley, 2020). Also drawing on Slaby \u2013 the role of affect and atmosphere in place is critical. How these are \u2018engineered\u2019 in any given place is a key question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rethinking Inclusive Landscapes: History, Culture and Sensory Diversity in Landscape Use and Decision Making.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Clare Hickman (University of Newcastle) and Dr Sarah Bell (University of Exeter)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> This session will highlight and encourage discussion based on the work of the AHRC network, &#8216;Unlocking Landscapes: History, Culture and Sensory Diversity in Landscape Use and Decision Making&#8217; led by Clare Hickman and Sarah Bell. One of the central aims of the network is to complement landscape management and decision-making approaches that foreground biodiversity with a focus on human diversity. Through the network, we will consider the complex ways in which landscapes become meaningful to diverse individuals and groups through their senses, personal memories and shared histories. As part of this approach we will use this session to share early reflections by network members about people&#8217;s varied landscape relationships and perceived challenges in terms of embedding social inclusion in future decision making in this area. We will then open up the discussion to all attending. As the project is considering diversity as something that is influenced by cultural, physical and historical aspects, we are keen to learn from others about what designed landscapes mean for them.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1gMQatXjHpgNyBjcqUzuHXRqBjSyfYG4r\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;In all the Stages and Stations of our Lives&#8217;: Landscape and Lifehistory in the travel writing of Celia Fiennes (1682 &#8211; 1712)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Professor Nicola Whyte, Associate Professor in Landscape and Social History, University of Exeter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1A-LVix50kc94D6MIw9CBsKr40q6ItNHD\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roundtable Discussion<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Jeremy Burchardt, Professor Clare Griffiths, Professor Paul Readman, Dr Rosemary Shirley<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We plan to hold five symposia exploring how narrative and biographical perspectives can improve landscape decision making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":334,"featured_media":298,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"coauthors":[8],"class_list":["post-236","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
