  Becoming Local. Transforming Spaces, Redifining Localities

  International Conference and Workshop AESOP / LAA-LAVUE

  Becoming Local Paris is a three days gathering dedicated to questioning the conflict between the local and global scale in the production of contemporary spaces, by proposing a reflection on the notions and categories used to describe local identities in the context of urban transformation. Through a "talk, walk and work" meeting, researchers, scholars and practitioners, will develop a comparative approach on the meaning of "local" in different case studies around the world.

  Entangled Transitions

  Between Eastern and Southern Europe 1960s-2014

  In under two decades, authoritarian political systems collapsed across Europe – in the south of the continent in the 1970s, and then in the east between 1989 and 1991. Although much work has been done on these processes in each region, and comparative work carried out on post-authoritarian transitions and memories, there has yet to be any sustained scholarship that examines the ‘entangledness’ of these processes in the context of broader European and global processes of the late Cold War and its aftermath. Taking a longue durée approach, this conference will explore these inter-relationships between the 1960s and the present day. 2014 marks the 25^th anniversary of the fall of state socialism and the 40^th anniversary of the beginning of the transition from dictatorship on the Iberian Peninsula and in Greece: an ideal time to consider the relationship between these processes that have been central to modern European history.
