What is ICONOPASTT?

The codes of the acronym

ICONOPASTT is the acronym of the title of the project "An iconographic participatory approach to reconstruct the memory of coas tal landscapes in Medoc", supported in 2022 by the AAP MITI of the CNRS (Mission pour les initiatives transverses et interdisciplinaires, https://miti.cnrs.fr/) / Action Participatory Sciences in interdisciplinary situation. 

The objectives of the project

ICONOPASTT is part of a participatory science approach with a citizen contribution at the heart of its operation. The participatory input of users is targeted on a collection of images (photos, postcards, engravings, paintings...) showing evolution stages of the beaches, or discoveries of archaeological interest, over the last two centuries. The goal is to nurture a "local memory", serving our collective understanding of environmental changes and of the erosion of our natural and cultural coastal heritages.
