About the Conference
The conference sets out to challenge the common perception of the beach as place of transition and transformation. Promoting the beach instead as a place of tension, the conference will revisit the disruptive and productive qualities of the clash of two spheres: the conflict of geographical entities but also different visions of the world: modernity versus tradition, chaos versus order. An antagonism enabling us to envision a more utopian territory that potentially could lead to a renewal of discourse.
