public meeting and debates  
13 August 2015, from 10:30 AM to 6 PM 
Central Square, Municipality of Forni di Sopra (Udine)

For the second consecutive year, in the Municipality of Forni di Sopra (Udine, IT), Dolomiti Contemporanee curates a day of public meetings and reflections focused on Contemporary Mountain Landscapes.
On its debut, in August 2014, the great anthropologist Marc Augé was invited to spoke to the public; his speech dealt with such themes as the man as creator of his landscape, memory and presence, contemporary ruins. His speech was entitled “The man is the territory ” (original title “L’uomo è il territorio”), and it’s available in Italian and French at this link (here a short video-interview to Marc Augè in DC).

This year Paesaggi Contemporanei will still be held in Forni di Sopra, in the Central Square of the town.
The main discussion theme selected this year will be the geography of cultural end economic landscapes.
