Scoping Sustainable Aesthetics – Rethinking Nature, Man-Made Environment
Kansainvälinen Soveltavan Estetiikan Instituutti (KSEI) järjestää Lahdessa 12.–14.6.2023 kestävyysteemaisen kesäkonferenssin ”Scoping Sustainable Aesthetics – Rethinking Nature, Man-Made Environment”. Konferenssi kutsuu sekä estetiikan alalla että sen ulkopuolella vaikuttavia pohtimaan uudelleen esteettisten arvojen ja estetiikkaa koskevien keskustelujen roolia kestävässä kehityksessä ja kestävyyssiirtymissä.
Päijät-Hämeen Kesäyliopiston opiskelijoille KSEI tarjoaa pääsyä neljään konferenssin osana toteutettavaan paneelisessioon. Paneeleissa kestävyyden ja estetiikan tematiikkaa tarkastellaan monialaisesti. Sekä konferenssi että sen osana järjestettävät paneelisessiot ovat englanninkielisiä.
Ilmoittautumalla kesäyliopiston kautta, pääset seuraamaan paneeleja paikan päällä Lahdessa, Sibeliustalon kongressisiivessä. Paneeleita ei striimata internettiin. Yhden paneelisession kesto on 90 minuuttia. Paneelit järjestetään paralleeleina, joten voit ilmoittautua kahteen paneelisessioon.

The International Institute of Applied Aesthetics (IIAA) is organising its 15th International Summer Congress, titled “Scoping Sustainable Aesthetics – Rethinking Nature, Man-Made Environment” in Lahti on June 12–14, 2023. With this three-day conference, the aim is to bring together people interested in the interface between philosophical/applied aesthetics and those approaches that seek to enhance ecological and social sustainability. The conference provides a view of sustainability-related research in philosophical and applied aesthetics.
For Päijät-Hämeen Kesäyliopisto students, the IIAA offers access to the conference’s four interdisciplinary panel discussions approaching the intertwinement of the themes and questions in aesthetics and sustainability science. The conference will be held in English.
By registering through the Kesäyliopisto, you get onsite access to the panel sessions at the Congress Wing of Sibelius Hall in the City of Lahti. The panel sessions (á 90 minutes) will not be streamed online. You can register for two sessions as the panels are held parallel. Please note that the conference programme remains subject to change. The registration price does not include coffees and lunches.
More information on the conference program is available on the conference website: https://iiaacongress.fi/

Cultural ecosystem services – a research and policy concept for sustaining the aesthetic in nature
In Finnish environmental policy, sustainability is closely linked to the ecosystem services approach. The concept of cultural ecosystem services (CESs) encompasses immaterial benefits of nature to humans: recreation, spirituality, knowledge – and beauty. This panel addresses the theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of CES research. We discuss the ways environmental aesthetics and the ecosystem services approach could be combined in order to map, analyse and protect what is aesthetically appreciated in nature.
Keywords: cultural ecosystem services, aesthetic experience, emotional perception, urban planning, transdisciplinarity
Chairs: Oleksandra Nenko (Turku Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Turku) Karoliina Lummaa (University of Turku and BIOS Research Unit)

The aesthetics of demolition
The aim of the panel is to deepen our understanding of historical and cultural background of aesthetic judgement in relation to demolition. We want to explore how the demolition of buildings is and has been justified aesthetically, by defining buildings as ugly, old-fashioned, un-stylish, out-of-date, or unfixable. Justifying demolition through aesthetic considerations is indeed a question of sustainability or un-sustainability.
Keywords: sustainability, demolition, architecture, preservation, argumentation
Panel hosts: Iida Kalakoski (Tampere University) & Riina Sirén (Tampere University)
Panelists:
Johanna Björkman (Finnish Heritage Agency)

Re-thinking “nature’s call”: Aesthetic intra-actions between in/continence, human-made synthetic and organic material, and society
This panel explores the questions of aesthetic sustainability through various dimensions of in/continence and excreta. The environmental impact of in/continence – i.e., the control and government of leaking bladder and bowels – by means of health and self-care practices as well as material technologies such as incontinence pads or diapers is significant. Developing sustainable continence care globally is urgent, and in/continence is inevitably also a question of aesthetics.
Keywords: incontinence, sustainability, stigma, materiality
Panelists:
Tiina Vaittinen (Tampere University)
Riku Laakkonen (Tampere University)
Timo Uotinen (Tampere University)
Anna-Ilona Rajala (Tampere University)
