Call for Papers, ASA 2014, Edinburgh
RUINED BODIES AND AGEING BUILDINGS: ARCHITECTURE, OBLIVION, DECAY
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/asa/asa2014/panels.php5?PanelID=2737
In architecture, the Enlightenment brought not only a particular style, but a great redefinition of ideas around building, 'un-building', and inhabiting. Together with a belief in reason as a means to ensure human progress, the political climate of the 18th Century entailed a profound questioning of established public architecture, including houses, markets, roads and monuments. This came about as a result of, and in tangent to, changing understandings of the 'material world' and human bodies.
This panel seeks to examine the continuing impact of these changes as they move through the contemporary world, particularly as the conservation of material remains of the past has gained increasing salience and as the scholarly study of these politically contingent processes have burgeoned.
Situating these connected processes within current debates around materials and their properties, we particularly welcome papers which focus on buildings and bodies in a condition of ruin, decay or restoration, as well as contributions which look more broadly at the relations between architecture and the human or non-human body-mind, in order to critically consider enduring Enlightenment notions of time, change and duration which continue to be taken for granted.
