Short Abstract:

People have experiences in and of places and remember past experiences as emplaced. Such encounters can translate to emotional relations with places. The panel is open for theoretical, methodological and case-specific contributions focusing on people-place relations in the historic urban landscape.

Long Abstract:

People form emotional relationships with places, not the least places that in different ways are seen to embody the past. Such relations do not only emerge with sites of assigned heritage value, but also with ordinary landscapes of the everyday environment, relations determined by repeated encounters that impact the meaning of place for a person or collective. People have experiences in and of places and remember past experiences as emplaced. Such experiences and acts of remembering are often influenced by received knowledge and values, but importantly they are also induced by affective engagement with the historic landscape.

In the wake of calls for reassessment of the balance between what is valued and who ascribes value to historic urban landscape this panel is focused on exploring people-place relations. This will include reflexions on place attachment, a notion adopted to heritage studies from environmental psychology and humanist geography to examine how a more people-centred approach to built heritage could be developed for an enhanced understanding the emotional ties that people form and cultivate with place. The panel seeks to draw together innovative studies exploring why and how people form emotional attachment to historic urban landscapes. It is open for papers focusing on methodological, theoretical and case specific examinations of urban heritage and people-place relations. These include papers on sensory methodologies, emotional attachment to ordinary historical landscapes and the role of place in processes of remembrance and communal heritage negotiations.
