Dear Tensions of Europe members,
 
‘Technology and Environment’ is the
inspiring theme of the 7th Tensions of Europe Conference that
will take place in Stockholm (Sweden), September 3-6, 22015. The conference
will be organized by KTH, Royal Institute of Technology. 
 
Confirmed key-note speakers are Amita
Baviskar and Erik Swyngedouw.
 
Second call for papers
Attached you will find the second call for
papers. Please be sure to distribute it to your colleagues and relevant
national networks. Al information is available also on www.tensionsofeurope.eu.
 
 
The 7th Tensions of Europe Conference will
have as its main theme the interaction between technology and the environment.
One way of understanding the environment is to think of it as nature appropriated
by humankind through technological, scientific and representational means.
From farming to space travel, we use technologies and natural resources
to sustain our lives. Our use of technologies leaves traces behind in the
form of altered environments. Changes at global historical and geological
scales are accumulated as heritage and geophysical strata respectively.
The intersection of technology and the environment can also be understood
culturally or socially. We use technology in our understanding and appreciation
of nature (religious, poetic or physical), in monitoring it, assessing
it representing it. Further, technology can be a lens and a tool in shaping
our relation to the environment. Technologies not only assist in shaping
and transforming nature, they also assist us to perceive, observe, record
and communicate natures and environments, including imaginative representations
of techno-­‐natures
in art, literature and film. 
 
The conference also invites scholarship in
the general themes of the Tensions of Europe network, such as trans-­‐border
flows, common resources, conflicting interests, hidden integration and
cultural practices. 
 
We  not only invite traditional panel-sessions
with a number of papers and   a  commentator, but  also
 strongly  encourage    different    formats
   and    new    ideas. These can concern
anything from the archive to the woods, be big or small, structured or
spontaneous. The programme committee will not prioritize between formats
if the suggestions promise constructive, stimulating and engaging discussion.

 
Please submit your proposals as soon as possible
and make sure to be present in Stockholm!
 
Best regards,
