Welcome to the CELA 2005 Conference Website A TIME for PLACE a time to reflect a time to explore a time to connect a time to learn a time to create a time to come together Athens, Georgia, USA, 21 - 24 September,
2005 At this time we might describe our place as both global and local. Since society has turned place into a commodity, what is our role as a discipline and as a profession in facilitating a cultural rediscovery of the essential connections within nature and community? If it matters that expressions of the local are disappearing - our vernacular landscapes, our regional ecology and unique lexicon of community -- how do we construct new frames of reference for ideas of place in the 21st century? Explore with us the dialectics of culture and nature, connection and
disjunction, the global and the local, process and form, and share an
opportunity to dig deep into our special place. Yes, you will be on "slow
time" in the red clay of the southeast piedmont where Kudzu creates
roadside attractions and the music is fierce. |
