Overview
Key Facts
The Common pool resources in the visual turn - collective alpine pastures, forests and waters in the first half of the 20th century summer school offered by University of Bern consists of lectures, presentations and excursions to venues in the Val d’Anniviers (canton of Valais) where local resources are still used as common goods.
The history of Common Pool Resources (CPR) has been discussed under the aspect of sustainability since Elinor Ostrom's «Governing the commons» (1990) and increasingly since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for it (2009). If one considers the classic collective resources of alpine pastures, forests and waters from this perspective, one is immediately struck by the extraordinarily dynamic development they have undergone during the 20th century.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- historical photos on collective management of alpine pastures, forests and waters
- methodical questions on how to analyse and interpret historical photos
- visual historical material
- phenomena of commons
