  Patrimonializing the living practices. When do uses become heritage?

  Annual meeting of the LIEU network 2018

  Since two or three decades heritagization phenomenon concerns more and more different objects and scales. Within this frame, is to inhabit the city becoming an object of heritage itself? This conference will focus on processes that transform the ordinary and daily practices – and the spaces in which they take place – in a unique and representative experience, capable to identify, qualify and/or protect spaces of patrimonial value (labeled, ordinary, common heritage, etc.).

  Contemporary Amman and the Right to the City

  A city of four million inhabitants today, Amman’s expansion has become disproportionate to its urban history. Amman has experienced an impressive urban growth over the past fifty years, driven by forced migration and market laws. Developing from a small rural settlement at the end of the 19^th century, Amman evolved into a regional crossroad at the end of the 20^th century, and has become today a symbol for the consolidation of Hashemite rule, and as a result, the site of its contestation. Amman’s exceptional position among other regional capitals and its recent urban history has forced its inhabitants to create narratives concerning the city’s foundation, invent urban traditions, and negotiate ways of socialization.

  #SATURATIONS - In praise of rhythms, holidays and interstices

  Une des conclusions et ouvertures du premier rendez-vous « Appropriation inventive et critique » a porté sur la fin des lacunes, des terrains vagues et des temps morts dans un système à rotation rapide. Dans le cadre d’une approche transdisciplinaire, nous nous sommes notamment interrogés sur la transformation de la ville en un « spectacle total » multisensoriel, multiscalaire et permanent. Nous avons repéré les risques de trop plein, de saturation, d’hyper-usage liés à la disparition des friches, des temps d’arrêt et des lacunes et à l’émergence d’un continuum spatio-temporel.

  Animal deaths in perspective

  Ce numéro de Frontières entend explorer la multiplicité et les transformations des morts animales dans les sociétés contemporaines. En partant de diverses catégories d’animaux (de rente, de ferme, d’assistance, de compagnie, de spectacle, d’expérimentation, de refuge, de zoo, sauvages, « nuisibles » ou « indésirables », etc.), il s’agira d’examiner la confrontation avec différents types et contextes de mort des animaux. Les propositions pourront ainsi aborder les diverses modalités de la mort des bêtes que sont l’abattage, la chasse, le sacrifice, l’euthanasie, l’expérimentation, l’élimination sanitaire, mais aussi les situations de guerre, prédation, pratiques rituelles ou spectaculaires diverses, etc.
