BETWEEN NATURE has already begun to generate great interest
and many offers of papers and presentations from people in a wide
range of fields. This second call invites those who would like to offer
a proposal, but who have not yet sent one, to do so by February 15th.
If you would like to offer a proposal, or simply register to attend the
event, you can do so on our website - www.lancs.ac.uk/users/csec/betweennature
- or by completing and returning the booking form below.
We can now also announce the names of some of the people who will
be contributing to BETWEEN NATURE:

BETWEEN NATURE will be a major regional, national and
international gathering for anyone concerned with ecology or
performance. By bringing together these two domains the event
aims to generate new understandings and modes of engagement
at a time when rapid technological and cultural change is disrupting
many received boundaries - between aesthetics and ethics, nature
and artifice, private and public, knowledge and politics.
BETWEEN NATURE will be innovative in its approach, including
all types of presentations from academic papers to interactive
events, workshops and performances. It presents a unique
opportunity to re-think and re-perform our relationship with nature.
BETWEEN NATURE will address topics such as:
recasting technologies - democracy as theatre - art as social
practice - staging science - convening the city - landscape and
embodied memory - the presentation of the ecological self -
dance and nature - body and dwelling - ecological rites -
gift, sacrifice and patent - TECH_gnosis - performing places -
the feeling of the land - industry, design and agency - vernacular
and global knowledges - timescales of technology - the politics
of speech acts and silence - risk and security - institutions
as theatre - environmental justice
We invite proposals for all types of presentation from academics
in the social sciences, arts and humanities and natural sciences,
arts practitioners and performers, political and cultural activists,
decision makers and citizens.
We are in discussion with a publisher for a planned publication
based on papers and performance documents from the event.
