1. [NEW ITEM] Vale Hans Dorn

Dear Colleagues,
 
It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing away of Hans Dorn, on 31 December 2018 in Frankfurt. A significant figure in the global landscape architectural profession and friend of many.

Hans’s contribution to the profession is in many fields and the influence of his works and actions has been important in the global development of the profession and in practice.

In particular, Hans is remembered as a man of integrity, strength and wisdom. His leadership within the International Federation of Landscape Architects, particularly as Chair of the ICOMOS IFLA International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes, is significant and has led to a greater understanding of policy and practice within this field. Hans’ friendship was shared by many within IFLA over a long period of time.

I first met Hans in 2000 where he distinguished himself with his global understanding of both the landscape architectural profession and the rapid emergence of cultural landscapes as one of the defining attributes of our profession. His influence was not only within IFLA, but also his representation extended to ICOMOS and UNESCO. I will remember Hans as a man of intelligence, style and humility. Our sincere condolences for his loss.
 
James Hayter
IFLA President

Australia ICOMOS offers its deepest condolences to Han’s family, friends and colleagues.

6. [NEW ITEM] ‘Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture’ Film Screening, 30 January, Melbourne

‘Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture’ Film Screening
Date and time: Wednesday 30 January 2019, 6:00 – 7:30pm 
Location: Ian Potter Centre, NGV Australia – Federation Square

Taq Kasra, also known as the Arch of Ctesiphon, is considered the largest brick vault in the world. The iconic palace is a symbol of the Persian Empire in the Sasanian era (221–654 AD), when a major part of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) was part of Persia. The mysterious monument was abandoned after the Arab invasion of Persia (Iran) in the 7th century AD but has remained a source of inspiration for archaeologists, poets, and other travellers. Today, the monument is part of the shared memory of both Iran and Iraq. Taq Kasra was in serious danger of ISIS attacks in 2015–16 and this was the main motivation for documentary-maker Pejman Akbarzadeh, based in Holland, to travel to Iraq at that time and film the arch before it was potentially destroyed.

‘Taq Kasra: Wonder of Architecture’, the first-ever documentary film about this arch, explores various aspects of the site with respected architects, archaeologists, and scholars from around the world. The film also portrays the huge impact of the 20th-century wars and ideological policies on this ancient building.

11. [NEW ITEM] Screen Tourism and Affective Landscapes (edited book) – call for papers

CfP: Screen Tourism and Affective Landscapes (edited book)
Edited by Christina Lee and Erik Champion (Curtin University)

We are soliciting contributions for an edited book that will explore the affective landscapes – both real and imaginary – in screen tourism.

Screen tourism is a burgeoning global industry whereby tourists visit locations that are featured in or are associated with film and television texts (e.g. filming locations, theme parks, the creator’s former abode). This simultaneously niche yet mainstream market has now extended the bucket list of travel destinations to include the likes of Westeros (Dubrovnik, Game of Thrones), Middle-earth (New Zealand, The Lord of the Rings), and Platform 9¾ (London, Harry Potter).

The book will explore how affective landscapes in screen tourism are sights/sites of transformation, play and possibility. It will broach a spectrum of topics, ranging from the tourist’s/fan’s affective response to place, to the strategic design of ventures to enhance the experiential through creating senses of place and narrative. The book will further advance discussions of the future potential of the industry (e.g. use of mixed/augmented reality).

Screen Tourism and Affective Landscapes will be a comprehensive collection of essays by international scholars and screen tourism practitioners, opening up a space for dialogue between the academy and industry. This interdisciplinary book will be informed by fields including cultural studies, tourism studies, media studies, cultural heritage and visualisation studies.

Possible areas of research include (but are not limited to):

  • narrative and affective landscapes
  • liminal spaces
  • embodied experiences
  • themed experiences and places
  • augmenting place through technology
  • modes of reality
  • (popular) cultural heritage and authenticity
  • the screen tourist’s gaze
  • fandom communities and engagement

Chapters are expected to be approximately 6000–7500 words.

Proposals should be sent by email (in a Word document) to the Editors by 1 March 2019. This should include an abstract (250 words) and a short contributor bio (one paragraph including institutional affiliation, position and recent publications). Please note that the submission date for accepted papers is 4 October 2019.

Contributors, please address all inquiries and proposals to Dr Christina Lee by email.

Cultural Stability or Conflict Symposium, 31 January, Melbourne

Cultural Stability or Conflict Symposium
Date and time: THURSDAY 31 January 2019 (NOTE CORRECTED DATE)
Location: Deakin Downtown

West Asia is a volatile region representing an ethnolinguistic and religious imbrication of peoples and their practices throughout history. Many of the nation-states in the region are recent geopolitical designations, either resulting from colonial machinations of warring European powers or the fall of the Soviet Empire in the last century. The arbitrarily drawn borderlines do not account for geographical, cultural, historical, and ethno-religious continuities or fissures in the region. Therefore, various forms of identification and their concomitant tangible and intangible heritages straddle these borders. This border-straddling heritage can conceivably play a dual role. At certain historical junctures — such as moments of national rivalries or regional conflicts — heritage can furnish a substantive alibi for historical or ethnocentric claims and counter-claims, secessionist movements and intrigue. By the same token, at least in theory, heritage can play a more constructive role by facilitating various forms of understanding and dialogue.

‘Local Communities, Global Networks’: Australian Historical Association 2019 Conference
8-12 July 2019, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba

How have the local and the global intersected, inspired and transformed experiences within and from Australia’s history? How do the histories of Indigenous, imperial, migrant and the myriad of other communities and networks inform, contest and shape knowledge about Australia today? The conference theme speaks to the centrality of history for engaging with community and family networks. Constructing livelihoods within an empire and a nation that have had a global reach, local communities have responded in diverse ways.

National Policy on Indigenous Places Survey – invitation to participate; deadline 31 January 2019

Over the last ten years, there has been an emerging crisis regarding the preservation of Indigenous heritage places, as revealed by the national State of the Environment (SOE) reporting process, which looked at cultural as well as natural heritage Australia-wide. The 2016 SOE report has described these places as under incremental pressure.

Please take part in an online survey regarding whether the dismantling of Whitlam initiatives, active up until 2004 (eg. the Australian Heritage Commission and its grants program and the Register of the National Estate), has reduced or enhanced the effectiveness of national policy on Indigenous places.

The survey is being carried out by Prof Hilary du Cros as part of a study funded by the Whitlam Institute, within Western Sydney University. It is investigating aspects of the last 45 years of national policy on Indigenous places and will result in a consultation paper and an academic article on national policy on Indigenous places. This survey targets all groups of stakeholders concerned with the management of Australian Indigenous heritage places. The survey provides an opportunity for various stakeholder groups to share their views throughout the nation on how Indigenous heritage places policy can be enhanced.

The survey should only take about 15-20 minutes to complete and your response would be recorded anonymously. Please take the survey by clicking on this link.

The survey will be open until 31 January 2019.

If you have any questions prior to completing the survey, please email Hilary du Cros.
