CALL FOR PAPERS
1998 European Urban History Conference, Venice, 3-5 September 1998.
A SENSE OF PLACE : THE CITY AND THE SENSES
The Research Group for European Urban Culture at the University of
Northumbria at Newcastle has been invited to organise one of the Main
Sessions at the 4th European Urban History Conference in Venice.
Papers in the 'Sense of Place' session, which embraces all periods of
urban history from medieval to contemporary , will engage with the five
senses in an urban context. We see this as a line of enquiry which will
encourage imaginative responses from scholars engaged with a whole range
of disciplines relating to the urban experience.
The Following examples are an indication of potential areas which papers
might cover :
TOWNS AND SOUNDS (music, street cries, gossip).
TOWNS AND SIGHT (the visual impact of buildings old and new,
representations of towns by artists and photographers for local and
outsdie consumption).
TOWNS AND SMELLS (changing perceptions of smell - movement by the
wealthy to the suburbs, zoning of odorous industrial activities, smells
in urban literature;, good air, bad air and disease).
TOWNS AND TOUCH (play, social encounters and distances, sex).
TOWNS AND TASTE (eating and drinking).
Interlinked papers would also be very welcome.
Please send your proposals, including an abstract on one page of A4 no
later than 1 November 1997 to : Alexander Cowan, Department of
Historical and Critical Studies, University of Northumbria, Newcastle
upon Tyne NE1 8ST. UK.
