“The cuckoo calls from the well of my mind,
more echo than thought, as it fades through the wind
and flickers away to the silence beyond
like the voice, in myself, of another.”
Burnside, J. Insomnia in Illinois, as cited in Collins, P. (Director). (2012). Silence [Film]. Harvest Films.
The symposium is organized with a goal to explore and reflect on landscape in relation to experiences of silence, quiet and stillness. The spatial frameworks of religious heritage and the intertwining of their practices and values are usually first associations to this subject. Such approaches often look into the acoustics of a particular place and space in order to better understand and make sense of the landscape. The theme of the event, however, seeks to go beyond the soundscape concept and embraces a phenomenological perspective, standing at the confluence of the topics such as environmental perception and imagination, intangibility and heritage(s), art and spirituality. With interdisciplinary framework, the aim is also to invite broader cross-sectoral discussion around ambiguities of dualistic approaches often surrounding discussion of landscape, such as mind - body, thought – experience, visible – invisible, human – nature.
The event is taking place virtually, in two thematic sessions featuring presentations of established scholars and young researchers from diverse professional and creative backgrounds.
