The nature of academic enquiry into these issues is inherently interdisciplinary, and the symposium will consider the way places are theorised differently in various academic disciplines, and what this means for the practice of managing and marketing places.
Corfu (or Corkyra as it was then known) was settled by the Corinthian exile Kersicrates in 734 BC. Since that time, and in no small part due to its strategic geographical location to the East of the heel of the boot of Italy, and to the West of the southernmost part of the Albanian mainland and the westernmost part of the Greek mainland, Corfu has been a part of the Roman Empire (229 BC), Byzantine Empire (337 AD), Normans (1081), Byzantine Empire again (1152), Venetian Empire (1386). 2016 marks the 300th anniversary of the 2nd Siege of Corfu in 1716, when, while Corfu was then under Venetian rule, there was an attempted Turkish invasion of the island. Whether the invading army was defeated by the islander’s defence leader Count Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg, or by its patron Saint Spyridon, the result was that the invaders were defeated. The island was next taken by France (1797), then it fell to the Russians, then the Ottoman Empire, before France’s second occupation in 1807. In 1815 Corfu became a British Protectorate, which it remained until formally becoming a part of Greece in 1864. During the 20th Century, the island fell to Italy during 1923, and again during WWII, until its liberation in 1944.
In such an historic year for the island, we feel it will be very interesting to consider these issues of thinking and re-thinking about places.
I am also delighted that the Institute of Place Management (IPM) has once again provided formal accreditation for the Symposium.
The Institute of Place Management’s links with the Journal of Place Management and Development, with its focus on communicating with academics, practitioners, policy makers and local government, is also a driving factor behind the balance between academic and practitioner input into this event.
