The PI of this project co-organised a coference 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 aims 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. This panel seeks to question how people through (im)mobility experience, remember, imagine, build and constitute land and water routes.

COBISS.SI-ID: 38505005ANG: In this contribution we have introduced remote sensing techniques for better understanding of social processes. In the introduction the insight into the mechanism of remote sensing was described, and later we focused on what was already done in the intersection of anthropology and remote sensing in particular, and where we see the potential for a better understanding of water routes from an interdisciplinary approach.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 38491181In the present touristic discourse Parenzana is represented as a Path of health and friendship. Locally, Parenzana is also known and promoted as the route of the former railway that led from Trieste to Poreč and as a trace of a former railway that connected places in the hinterland of Istria. It operated from 1902 do 1935, when the territory was a part of Austro-Hungarian state and latter of the Kingdom of Italy. The trail was re-created after 2002, on the basis of an initiative of several local communities in Istrian region. This paper questions how several actors (tourist workers, amateur explorers, scholars, several users etc.) generate this route and how these route is engendered through (non)movements and (im)mobilities in the past, present and the future. It focuses on different narratives and explores the way in which various actors talk about this trace. It argues that nowadays the Parenzana trace is (re)build through complexity of social relations and thus it is part of the Istrian landscape.
