Seminar Series | CHANGING HERITAGE LANDSCAPES. Contemporary challenges confronting conservation and tourism beyond the nature-culture dichotomy
Palazzo Wollemborg, via del Santo 26, 35123 Padova
Dal 13.04.2023 al 11.07.2023
Landscapes have always been confronted with and produced by change. While the social sciences and humanities have acknowledged their dynamic and relational nature, the effort has seemed particularly difficult for landscapes that are recognised, protected and consumed for their heritage and exceptional value.
This seminar series aims to critically address the landscape-heritage-ecotourism nexus from multiple perspectives: merging the debates on the processual and relational nature of heritage landscapes with the ongoing reflection on their hybrid/social nature and critical accounts on ecotourism practices that focus specifically on contexts such as protected areas and UNESCO biosphere reserves.
With the participation of international scholars working at the interface between geography, heritage studies, social sciences and conservation, each seminar will allow explorations and reflections on
international perspectives and case studies closely related to current research avenues fueling the Italian geographic debate.
The seminars are open to graduate and PhD students and post-doc and other researchers.
The “Changing Heritage Landscapes” seminar series is organized as part of the research project “Landscape Conservation, Transformation and Use in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves: Italian Experiences and International Contributions”, coordinated by Margherita Cisani and funded by the Department of Historic and Geographical Sciences and the Ancient World, University of Padova, Italy.
