Symposium "Learning from the desert - Water, Humanities, Territories, Imaginary"
This symposium offers an in-depth look at the productivist and short-termist rationale behind water management today. Through a wide-ranging analysis of development practices in arid and semi-arid regions, it invites us to rethink our relationship with water.
Four themes will guide the discussions:
Water, human and non-human
Water, acceleration and the paradigm of progress
Water and specific territorial features
Water, imagination and form
Deadline for submission of abstracts: 15 June 2025

The symposium will take place on Thursday December 4 and Friday December 5, 2025 in the auditorium of the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine.
