  Dominion of the Sacred

  Image, Cartography, Knowledge of the City after the Council of Trent ("In_bo" vol. 12, no. 16)

  Between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Italian political geography was polarized by a number of cities of different sizes and traditions: Rome and Florence, Milan and Naples, Genoa and Venice, Turin and Modena, either ancient republics or new dynastic capitals, satellites of the great European monarchies or small Signorias. The conjunction — less frequently the conflict — between the mandates of the Council of Trent and the interests of the ruling élites of those cities set the foundation for novel forms of social, cultural and spiritual control, fostering new urban structures and policies, deeply conditioned by the presence and government of the sacred.

  Not Just Holidays in the Sun

  Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Summer School 2020

  The Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Conference 2020 will be preceded by a Summer School entitled ‘Not Just Holidays in the Sun’ on 7 July 2020 in Rivoli Municipal Theatre of Porto. The Summer School will offer an opportunity for all interested persons, including those participating in the Conference, to attend workshops directed by specialists in their fields. Our KISMIF Summer School program invites students who are interested in, or currently using, DIY cultures in their research to join us for an exciting and innovative one-day summer school program. The goal of the one-day program will be to encourage discussion and experimentation in the documentation of DIY cultures as much as it will be to encourage a new generation of DIY academics (Punk Ethnographers!) to experiment with digital cinema and performance in their research practices.

  Making the city: thinking and representing urban production

  Ces journées d’études viennent en prolongement du projet de recherche ALARIC (A la recherche de l’incrémentation du changement) soutenu par le Labex Intelligence des Mondes Urbains (Université de Lyon, France). Elles proposent un retour réflexif sur la définition du changement urbain et ses méthodes d’appréhension. Elles souhaitent faire dialoguer des projets pluridisciplinaires pour lesquels l’observation dans la longue durée et la mobilisation d’une documentation variée sont les fils directeurs d’une méthode permettant de renseigner l’évolution des pratiques, les transformations de la matérialité urbaine ou des représentations territoriales. Ce faisant, les journées interrogent notre connaissance des mutations urbaines en cours et les démarches prospectives portant sur la transition vers une ville durable.
