Following the government's announcement on Saturday, March 14, 2020 that the Coronovirus (COVID-19) epidemic has been downgraded to stage 3, the upcoming "Amphis pour Tous" conferences have been cancelled for the coming months and postponed until next season.
The conference "Landscapes from yesterday to today: sensitive and digital approaches", presented by Dominique Pety, university professor at the Laboratoire Langages, Littératures, Sociétés - Études transfrontalières et Internationales (LLSETI), UFR Lettres, Langues et Sciences Humaines, will take place on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 at 6pm at the Pôle culturel de la Visitation in Thonon-les-Bains.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The landscape paintings in our museums, the engravings in old books, but also the photographs of today's landscapes, can be found on our telephone or computer screens. How does this change our relationship with landscapes? Are landscapes becoming closer, in these images at our fingertips? Do their sometimes radical transformations strike us more, when we access a whole series of photographs of the same landscape? Are we not also witnessing a new formatting of landscape representation with online images? We will attempt to answer these questions by presenting various digital devices, including the Observatoires photographiques de paysages, on the occasion of the publication of the book Representing landscapes yesterday and today. Approches sensibles et numériques (late 2019, Presses Universitaires Savoie Mont Blanc, LLSETI, collection "Patrimoines", edited by Dominique Pety, Hélène Schmutz and Pascal Bouvier).
