LANDSCAPES OF MEMORY

ORAL HISTORY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Oral History Society Annual Conference
with the Centre for Continuing Education, University of Sussex,

Brighton, England, 15-16 May 1999

CALL FOR PAPERS

Offers of papers and other forms of presentation are invited for this interdisciplinary, international conference which will explore the relationships between memory and place and the contested meanings of diverse human and physical landscapes. The proposed conference themes are as follows:

• Memory and Place (place & identities, tradition & change, urban & rural, ownership & contested meanings, gender & cultural differences, 'coming in' & staying put)
• Protest (political / environmental movements, conservation & change, disputes & confrontations, rights & boundaries, contested accounts of arrival & ownership)
• Green Lifestyles (creating new societies & communities, buildings & camp sites, conflicting lifestyles, alternative ecologies, retreats & revolutions)
• Heritage (preserving the past, creating traditions, collecting & archiving, museums & exhibitions, public and participatory histories of place)
• Oral History and Development (using traditional knowledges in development, oral history for change, urban & rural, 'North' & 'South')

Presentations may be offered in any of the following formats:
conference paper, workshop activity, exhibition, poster display, multimedia presentation (other formats by negotiation). We intend to organise an exciting, participatory conference which will include the wide range of media in which memories of place are represented and explored. Conference activities will include local tours and regional exhibitions.

Prospective participants should send two copies of their proposal on a single A4 sheet including the following details: name, address, phone, fax and email numbers, title of presentation, format of presentation (see above), relevant conference theme/s, and a brief summary of the proposed presentation.
