PI and the researcher on this project, Maja Petrović-Šteger, co-organised one-day workshop on Water Routes and Future. The workshop was part of the summer, children's Research Playground that the ZRC SAZU organises already for thirteen years. The Research Playground aims to popularise and promote the scientific research amongst the young, elementary school population. The workshop on Water routes and their future playfully presented the meanings of water in the daily life of people living in Albania, Serbia and Slovenia. We questioned how the water streams through mythology, fairy tale world and our daily life and tried to think its streamflow through various activities such as drawing, playing, discovering, etc.

COBISS.SI-ID: 41912109The PI of this project co-organised a conference entitled "Movements, Narratives & Landscapes" in collaboration with the University of Zadar (HR), University of Roehampton (UK) and University of Maine (US). At this conference that was held at the University of Zadar, the PI organised the panel entitled “Land and water routes” where she held the introductory paper to the panel. Land and water routes express peoples’ movements through/across/in particular places and landscapes and are vital for understanding various modes of movements and meaning of place and landscape. This panel aimed to gain a better understanding of the infrastructure, the social, political, technological and economic organisation as well as cultural expression of movement and ways in which routes materialize peoples’ imaginaries, practices, memories and identifications. Routes are a medium for social relations; they connect spatial images with memory defined by time. The panel questioned how people through (im)mobility experience, remember, imagine, build and constitute land and water routes.

COBISS.SI-ID: 38504749The paper is part of the international interdisciplinary workshop entitled 'Movements and landscapes' which this PI organised within the framework of the present project. The workshop was co-organised together with the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre for Mountain Research, Shizuoka Prefecture (Japan) and the University of Ljubljana. It discussed how human movements interact with landscape. Human movements have often been linked with places of special ritual or collective memory and in the contemporary world such places are often theorized as sites of ‘heritage’. The latter was addressed in the individual presentations which through various disciplinary angles discussed the interplay between movements and landscapes and their meaning for heritage (un)making.

COBISS.SI-ID: 40455981The paper is part of the international seminar entitled 'Routes, landscapes and heritage' which this PI organised within the framework of this project in collaboration with the Yamguchi University, Japan. The seminar explored the interrelation between routes, landscapes and heritage from a variety of perspectives. It addressed various modes of peoples’ movements, such as walking, migrating, journeying, or going on a pilgrimage, critically probing the ways in which these movements engender landscape and produce heritage. The paper presented by Nataša Rogelja and Špela Ledinek Lozej focuses at the concrete route between Istria and Trieste and in using different examples of this route discusses the interrelation between routes, narratives and walking.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 40166445The interview focuses on the newly published anthropological book entitled Blue Horizons that was published in the ZRC SAZU publishing house. The book presents an important contribution to the research of new modalities and motivations of migrations in Mediterranean. On the ground of ethnography among lifestyle migrants in Greece the book discusses the following questions: How can we conceptualise these novel forms of movements that seem to sit uncomfortably in between the standard dichotomized division of work within migration studies and wider social sciences: internal/international migration, temporary/permanent, migration/tourism? How do we theoretically and methodologically situate these individuals that are statistically often invisible and seem to evade the common categories of describing a mobile person, such as migrant or tourist? In order to answer these questions, the author explores ethnographically the connection between the maritime environment, sea imaginaries and lifestyle migration.
