  Cultural policies, cities and territories

  The Mouseion Journal of the Museum and La Salle Historic Archive

  This dossier aims to disseminate research findings focused on challenges of cultural policies and critical perspectives addressing key cultural issues facing cities and territories today from a comparative point of view. We aim to find out how and if cultural policies are consistent in promoting cultural diversity and social inclusion. The contributors are also invited to offer new theoretical perspectives on cultural policy and to provide for examples of cities and territories that achieved their goals in terms of promotion of cultural diversity and social developement.

  Cultural Urban Practices

  Towards spatial and social reconfigurations of cities in the Americas

  The workshop intends to answer these following questions: How do cultural practices produce new uses of public urban space? Do they succeed in reinventing the idea of the common or on the contrary do they produce new forms of stigmatization? The organizers of the workshop also wish to raise a comparative debate on social sciences studies done in Latin America and in North America on the topic of culture and cities.

  Simmel and the architectural field - urban sociability, landscapes and the aestheticisation of the world

  Sociabilité urbaine, paysage et esthétisation du monde

  L’intention première de ce colloque est de montrer l’importance de l’œuvre de Simmel dans le champ urbain en croisant différentes disciplines (anthropologie, architecture, arts, philosophie, littérature, psychanalyse…) à partir de ses concepts-clés. Il s’agit d’une invitation à réfléchir sur les mutations urbaines à travers les perspectives proposées par Simmel.

  Merchant spaces, malls and urban landscapes in a globalised world

  Commerce et culture special session

  Le centre commercial est souvent désigné aujourd'hui comme un équipement créant de la « désurbanisation » ou associé aux « non-lieux » (Augé 1992), il apparaît comme un des « objet » urbain visible d'une mondialisation financière détruisant les paysages locaux pour produire un paysage standard. Ainsi, à bien des égards, le centre commercial semble surgir, faire irruption dans un paysage familier, voire quotidien, et bouleverse son ordonnacement. Cependant, il ne peut s'établir et connaître un certain succès que dans un paysage urbain, social et culturel en mouvement. Il s'insère peu à peu dans un environnement qui se restructure, il n'en est pas la seule composante mais il en est un marqueur.

  Contemporary African and Black Diasporic Spaces in Europe

  "Open Cultural Studies" journal

  This special issue of Open Cultural Studies explores the social and cultural spaces in which identifications with African and black diaspora(s) become articulated, (re)negotiated and established as a field of collective agency with transformative power in European societies. It will argue that  African diaspora communities and cultures in Europe are constructed not only by individuals’ engagements with Africa and its global diaspora, or mediatized and commercialized notions of Africanness/blackness, but also through collective agency aiming at promoting change in European societies shadowed by the normative whiteness, nationalist discourses and policies, human rights violations and overt racism.
