Skrócony opis: |
Covered by pavements, carved in stones, or concealed by a thick forest, some places bare traces of memory, trauma and hidden meanings of the contemporary past. Those places, sometimes set up intentionally and sometimes emerged out of natural taphonomic processes, can be used (and misused) in the cultural and political discourse on modern-day issues concerning memory of genocides, creation of public space, environmental protection, creation of natural environments in urban spaces and many others. Deriving from the “spatial turn” in humanities and social sciences, the goal of the class is to discuss the variety of presence of the past in contemporary landscapes, using interdisciplinary approach based on i.a. archaeology, memory studies, landscape studies, and ecosemiotics. Theoretical and methodological framework will be then transferred onto case-studies of places in urban, suburban and natural environments, where the contemporary past has imprinted its traces. |
