Field Classes


The theme of 'translation' and 'reading cultural landscapes' have, in the past, been demonstrated literally by the DSC's guided exploration of the landscape and cultural history of the island of Corfu, the archaeological site of Butrint in neighbouring Albania, and the native village of Nicholas Gage at Lia on the Greek mainland in the mountain region of Epirus.

Walking tours of Corfu Town allow participants to appreciate the architecture of colonisation in its socio-cultural and political effects. These tours are complemented by field classes to cultural and historical sites, such as monasteries, folk museums, mediaeval villages, a farm specialising in breeding endangered species, the White House at Kalami (Lawrence Durrell's home 1935-39), and the 'Chessboard fields,' where Gerald Durrell began his zoological explorations.
