Presenters will focus on one specific approach to spatiality. As the workshop also aims to test the practical validity of these theories, each speaker will briefly present an example or case study from their own research, whose aim is to spark a discussion of the possibilities – and possible limitations of the respective approach.
The workshop is organised by the Research Group on Spatial Studies and Environmental Humanities, Plural Research Centre (COMS) and The Changing Environment of the North: Cultural Representations and Uses of Water (CEN) project.
