By bringing together these two domains the event aims to generate new understandings and modes of engagement at a time when rapid technological and cultural change is disrupting many received boundaries - between aesthetics and ethics, nature and artifice, private and public, knowledge and politics. BETWEEN NATURE will be innovative in its approach, including all types of presentations from academic papers to interactive events, workshops and performances. It presents a unique opportunity to re-think and re-perform our relationship with nature. BETWEEN NATURE will address topics such as: recasting technologies - democracy as theatre - art as social practice - staging science - convening the city - landscape and embodied memory - the presentation of the ecological self - dance and nature - body and dwelling - ecological rites - gift, sacrifice and patent - TECH_gnosis - performing places - the feeling of the land - industry, design and agency - vernacular and global knowledges - timescales of technology - the politics of speech acts and silence - risk and security - institutions as theatre - environmental justice We invite proposals for all types of presentation from academics in the social sciences, arts and humanities and natural sciences, arts practitioners and performers, political and cultural activists, decision makers and citizens. We are in discussion with a publisher for a planned publication based on papers and performance documents from the event.
