The main theme \u2013 \u201cCity Networks in Europe and Beyond\u201d \u2013 highlights the strategically important role of cities, both in the past and today. It draws attention to the fact that links between urban centres have had just as great an impact on the shaping of Europe and the expansion of its influence across the globe as states have. The organisers point out that whilst the history of Europe is often identified with states and nations, it is, to a large extent, first and foremost the history of its cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EAUH conference also aims to support interdisciplinary initiatives that bring together history, geography, urban planning, architecture, cultural heritage, museology and other humanities and environmental sciences, which are crucial for the preservation of contemporary democratic culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participation in the EAUH conference reaffirms the ICC\u2019s position as an institution that actively contributes to the international debate on the city, heritage and culture, combining academic research with institutional practice. The presence of ICC representatives at several thematic sessions also reflects the consistently developing cooperation with the European community of researchers, experts and institutions working in the field of heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme of the session co-organised by the ICC is: \u201cLocal urban community networks and the modernisation of the periphery in the modern era (c. 1850\u20131939)\u201d. Its aim is to examine urban community networks as key social forces that played an autonomous role in the modernisation of Europe\u2019s peripheries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to a representative of the Educational Department \u2013 The Academy of Heritage \u2013 Dr Micha\u0142 Wi\u015bniewski \u2013 the coordinators of the debate \u201cLocal urban community networks and the modernisation of the periphery in the modern era (c. 1850\u20131939)\u201d also include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Jacek Purchla will speak during the session entitled \u201cHeritagisation of urban landscapes\u201d. The aim of this debate will be to understand how the concept of the historic urban landscape is used in global and local discourses to bridge the divide between culture and nature in the urban environment and to define the spatial specificity of the historic city. Prof. Jacek Purchla\u2019s presentation, entitled \u201cWorld Heritage Convention \u2013 New Challenges for Historic Cities\u201d will focus on how the past shapes the contemporary development of historic cities and will examine them as an arena of tensions and interactions between society and heritage. Professor Purchla\u2019s talk will encourage reflection on the complex issue of preserving historic cities in an era of rapid civilisational change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The theme of the next session, featuring representatives from the ICCK, is \u201cGeopolitics and the spread of Art Nouveau in Europe\u201d. Participants in the discussion will examine Art Nouveau as one of the first architectural styles to possess such a cosmopolitan character. They will also highlight its connection with the formation of national identity during a period of profound change across Europe. Dr Micha\u0142 Wi\u015bniewski\u2019s presentation will be entitled \u201cBetween the countryside and the metropolis. The role of Krak\u00f3w\u2019s Art Nouveau architecture in shaping Polish national art before the First World War and during the interwar period\u201d. Dr \u017banna Komar, meanwhile, will present the topic \u201cArt Nouveau architecture in Lviv as a reflection of the region\u2019s political geography\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agata W\u0105sowska-Pawlik and Dr Micha\u0142 Wi\u015bniewski will also present, on 3 September, during the event \u201cHistory & Heritage Corner. Book presentations\u201d , the \u201cHerito\u201d magazine and will provide an overview of the topics covered in the journal published by the ICC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
