“Mythographies” ties together myth and geography, thus pointing at those special instances when a mythical dimension is embedded in a certain geographic domain. “Mythographies” explores the way history and fantasy cross each other‘s paths and examines the links between landscape, collective memory, people and nation.

The conference will combine performative lectures by artists alongside topic lectures and panels in order to examine the way places, both real and fictional, address man’s deepest emotions and the role they play in constructing spiritual capital.
