Dear GeoCritters, and apologies, as ever, for cross-postings.
Second call for papers for
First International Conference on Inland Waterways, Waterscapes and Cultural Heritage (Hue, Vietnam, 8-11 December 2020)
[final proposal submission date - March 16th - Authors notified of acceptance: April 15th 2020]
Link to the webpage of the conference: https://www.shimajournal.org/conferences/vietnam/
Inland waterways include rivers, canals, lakes, lagoons, floodplains, reservoirs, wetlands, and inland saline systems. A waterscape can be defined as a landscape in which water is a dominant feature and these can be very different, ranging from irrigated agricultural areas such as the terraced rice paddies of South East Asia, transport canal routes, urban waterfront developments, engineered lakes, lagoon and riverine environments and many others.
Keynote lectures will be given by Prof. Francesco Vallerani (Ca’ Foscari University, Venice) and Prof. Bruce Prideaux (Central Queensland University, Australia) plus others to be confirmed.
We welcome papers discussing:
- Tangible and intangible cultural, industrial and environmental water heritage and history
- Leisure, tourism and wellbeing on and near inland waters: boating, kayaking, canoeing, walking, running, hiking, cycling, angling, etc.
- Identities and belonging on and near water
- Discourses, representations and narratives of inland waters in cultural texts and arts (visual art, literature, film, TV, (social) media etc.)
- Water transport and mobilities
- (Potable) water use, sustainability and conservation patterns in agriculture, aquaculture, tourism, everyday life etc.
- Flood (or drought) events and the everyday discourses of the climate crises
- Hydropolitics and water management practices, systems and policies
- Waterfront regeneration, redevelopment, planning and governance
- Infrastructures and engineering: hydroelectrics, dams, canalization
Abstracts should be submitted to the organising committee: [log in to unmask]
