Place and Location II

October 13–14, 2000. Tallinn, Estonian Academy of Arts, Tartu mnt 1

International seminar “Place and Location II: Culture and Landscape” focuses on the relations between human experience and activities on the one hand and on landscape as a way of experiencing, describing and depicting the environment on the other hand. The goal is to bring together people from different fields for a discussion on the following themes:

  • notions of landscape, space and environment in different fields of research;
  • landscapes significant and influenced by culture;
  • possibilities of integrating culture with its natural sources;
  • ways of introducing, presenting and experiencing environment.
