Experts, Communities and the Negotiation of the Experience of Modernity

21.9.2017, University of Tampere, Main building

The workshop will examine the mediating role of experts in the processes of
modernisation and community building from the early twentieth century to the
present. The focus will be on two interrelated aspects: First, the workshop will
look at the mechanisms by which expert knowledge has been used to control the
experience of modernity and to (re)build communal belonging. We are interested
in both urban and rural communities and environments, as well as various groups
of experts: urban planners, architects, social scientists, geographers and
historians. Common to all these professional groups has been their key role in
explaining and legitimating change, and in embedding expert knowledge into
‘tradition’ and ‘common sense knowledge’. Second, the workshop will
explore to what extent and in what ways the authority of expert knowledge to
shape societal transformations has been negotiated and contested by other
professional groups and by laypersons.

The workshop is open for everyone and free of charge. For catering purposes, we
kindly ask you to register by 15.9.2017 to Henrik Mattjus
(henrik.mattjus at uta.fi). Welcome!
