Call for Participation | “Slowing Down: Tourism Practice in the Era of the Anthropocene” | Free online RGR & ECR Symposium, May 24–25, 2023
The symposium invites scholars, practitioners, and activists to come together to explore alternative approaches to tourism that prioritise sustainability, well-being, and social justice. We aim to create a space for critical reflection and discussion where participants can share their experiences and insights and develop strategies for disrupting the toxic culture of intense productivity and consumption in teaching, scholarship, and daily life.
Livestreamad disputas | Skogens «blå bånd»: Fremveksten av Oslomarka som friluftsområde, av Iver Mytting, Norges idrettshøgskole
Da Oslomarka gjekk frå villmark til park, føregjekk prosessen på fleire parallelle plan. I avhandlinga si tar Mytting opp framveksten og tilblivinga av Oslomarka som friluftsområde. Ifølgje Mytting er det først og fremst i mellomkrigstida at Marka blir til som en tydelig definerbar størrelse, som «ein eigen entitet i verda». Mytting framstiller Marka som eit frambrakt rom, eller ein fortidig romleg konstellasjon, samstundes som han ettergår dei prosessane som skapte nettopp dette rommet.
