[rohrpost] Borders Project - Symposium |
PROJECT BORDERS MULTIMEDIAL RESEARCH INTO FRONTIERS TODAY Venice > Mestre Ljubljana > Pirano November 2003 / December 2004 Borders: Analysis, meanings, significance . In 2004 PROJECT BORDERS gets underway, the first appointment being on 30th January in the Aula Magna of IUAV at the Tolentini, where the first day of work and study will take place. This first meeting will be international in character with a strong presence of the Italian and Slovenian institutions representing the many aspects of the subject. Well-known scholars will come together in Venice to analyse the concept of borders and to study the changes that, over the years, have crisscrossed in different areas of the social, cultural and economic life of our communities. The project has been realised in collaboration with the Commune of Venice, the Veneto Region, the Italian Government and is co-financed by the European Union (Interreg IIIA CBC Italy/Slovenia). The first study day will gather international speakers to present the different phases of the project and to outline the borders that impose limits on human action today, starting with our daily lives. The meeting will open at 10am with a presentation by Professor Marino Folin, the Rector of IUAV, who will be followed by the coordinators of the four sections of the project, Aurora Fonda, Matteo Ghidoni, Luca Racchini, Aljosa Dekleva, Fernanda Di Maio and Mauro Marzo who will briefly explain the forthcoming stages of the project. Speakers who have had the chance to investigate the different meanings of the term 'borders' during the course of their work or study have been invited to take part in the meeting. Thus, space has been given to Italian and Slovenian sociologists to highlight the analogies and differences to be found between Slovenia's present transitory condition and the Western state of things linked to a predefined market economy. Architects will reveal to us the limits lurking in our towns and cities, on city outskirts and in general, while writers and art historians will enable us to understand better the limits created in the cultural and communication universe. Participants will include: Marino Folin - Director of Architecture University in Venice Carlos Basualdo - curator and art critic, Usa/Argentina Boris Podrecca - Architect who lives between Venice and Austria Piero Zanini - Architect, Italy Piero Vereni - Teacher of Demoetnoantropologic, Italy Ales Debeljak - Writer and sociologist, Slovenia Milan Kucan - Ex-president of Slovenian Repubblic Alberto Gasparini - Sociologist at the University of Gorizia Predrag Matvejevic - Writer and essayist, Croatia Amos Luzzatto - President of Union Jewish Italian Community Curzio Maltese- Journalist and writer for La Repubblica, Italy Vasa Perovic - Architect, Slovenia Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed - Writer and sociologist, UK At the end of the symposium will be the projection of the history-documentary "My border/Moja Meja" of Anja Medved and Nadja Veluscek, production Regional Center RAI for the Friuli Venezia Giulia Slovenian program Kinoatelje.
