Call for Papers: Heritage and Future(s)
The past, the present, and the future do not exist in isolation but create a web of continuities. The blurred borders between temporalities, their interlinkages and interdependencies, can be both limiting and empowering to the ways we think about, theorise and imagine possible futures.
Current global cultural, social, political, and environmental challenges contribute to a growing need to question how we frame and engage with heritage. Digital technologies in particular present new opportunities to incorporate the past into projects of the future. These developments provoke a need to reconsider how we preserve artifacts of the past, how different forms of heritage are made available, and how digital technologies will continue to affect the ways the past shapes contemporary and future societies.
This conference invites participants to explore the ever-shifting landscapes and connections between the here and now, our heritage, and our possible futures. We invite contributions from all disciplines within the Arts and Humanities, including interdisciplinary papers and collaborations as well as creative practice contributions. Potential topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Sustainable Tourism
* Environmentalism
* Scottish Studies
* Heritage and Film
* Social, Political and Cultural Change
* Social Capital
* Religious Heritage and (Re-)Imaginings
* The Future of Scottish Literature
* Digital Heritage, Digitalisation and Future Technologies
* Old Stories, New Media
* Hauntology
* Community Heritage and Future
* Gentrification and Future Cityscapes
* Political Movements and Mobilisations
* Past experience, Future Action
* Challenging Gender Norms and Perceptions
* Heritage and Health
Please submit a proposal (250 words max.) and a short biographical note (50 words max.) to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> if you are a postgraduate student who would like to present a twenty minute talk at the conference. The extended deadline is 1 May 2020.
