Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

Territorialising modern spaces, 15th-19th centuries
2ème session
Cette rencontre propose une réflexion collective sur les actions, les projets, les figurations et les imaginaires visant à la construction des territoires. On peut définir le territoire comme l’espace qu’un groupe humain s’approprie tout à la fois sur les plans politique, judiciaire, économique et religieux. Il constitue aussi un lieu de construction identitaire et communautaire, dans lequel une histoire commune se fonde d’abord sur un rapport à la foi et la croyance en un destin providentiel partagé. Il est enfin, à l’époque moderne, l’objet d’une institutionnalisation et un enjeu de pouvoir éminent. Ces journées d'études internationales propose un réflexion sur le phénomène de territorialisation tout au long de l'époque moderne en Europe et dans les espace où les Européens se sont implantés.

Territorialising modern spaces
Europe-Overseas, 15th-19th centuries; First session
Cette rencontre propose une réflexion collective sur les actions, les projets, les figurations et les imaginaires visant à la construction des territoires. Ce phénomène est trop volontiers envisagé comme un simple cadre explicatif ou un élément d’explication globale se suffisant à lui-même. Au contraire, la réalité de ce qu’est le territoire doit être comprise dans un contexte spécifique : celui de l’expansion européenne entre les XVe et XIXe siècles. On peut le définir le territoire en tant qu’espace qu’un groupe humain s’approprie tout à la fois sur le plan politique et judiciaire, économique et religieux. Il constitue aussi un lieu de construction identitaire et communautaire, dans lequel une histoire commune se fonde notamment sur les pratiques religieuses et la croyance en un destin providentiel partagé. Il est enfin, à l’époque moderne, l’objet d’une institutionnalisation et l’enjeu d’un pouvoir éminent.

Ce colloque a pour ambition d’interroger et de préciser la notion d’ « habiter la montagne » à partir d’apports théoriques et pratiques relevant de territoires alpins et/ou de montagne.

L’appel est ouvert à la géographie, à l’aménagement, à l’urbanisme, à la sociologie, à l’histoire, à l’anthropologie, à l’économie, au droit…

La città multietnica nel mondo mediterraneo
Storia, cultura, patrimonio
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of our cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage (a heritage which today seems strongly under attack). We aim for a historical perspective – by drawing attention on well-documented case-studies offering comparative insights – without however forgetting to ask ourselves the meaning of our research in the troubled world we live in; without anachronisms, but also without hiding behind the pretext of specialisms, while in front of our eyes the Mediterranean world is more than ever a theatre of death, exclusion, suffering.

Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world
History, culture, heritage
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

"Plural Africa" – Africa, pluralism in politics: knowledge, and social dynamics in time and space
ASAI - Fifth conference of the Association pour les études africaines en Italie
La cinquième conférence d’ASAI propose d'analyser les « Afriques » dans toute la pluralité de leurs phénomènes historiques, politiques, sociaux et culturels qui constituent la richesse du continent africain et peuvent déterminer, au sein de ses sociétés, de profondes asymétries. Deuxièmement, la conférence entend dépasser cette vision qui étouffe les « voix des Africains » et enraie leur interaction avec les forces politico-économiques et les phénomènes sociaux qui traversent le continent.

Il progetto del territorio nelle fonti d’archivio
X Seminario di studi storico-cartografici « Dalla mappa al GIS »
Il tema al centro dell’incontro è Il progetto del territorio nelle fonti d’archivio, ossia la riflessione sull’importanza delle ricerche e delle fonti custodite negli archivi e nelle conservatorie in genere per lo studio e la comprensione delle dinamiche territoriali, nel lungo periodo, soprattutto in prospettiva dell’individuazione, dell’analisi e della soluzione dei problemi odierni.

Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches
The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

Italian Association for Middle Eastern Studies (SeSaMO) Annual Conference - Panel 12
This panel focuses on the renewed forms to build the city in the MENA region (‘environmental planning’, ‘resilient urbanism’, ‘responsive urbanism’, participatory and ‘collaborative’ initiatives, ‘sustainable’ urbanism…). The panel will tackle two types of spaces: informal settlements, where experimental forms and new methods are at work, and major eco-projects which have adopted in recent years ecological processes, along with global strategies. The major research hypothesis is that the MENA region shows at least since the 2000s new forms of urbanism that, to varying degrees, bring weak but maybe harbinger/forerunner signals of change and innovation, driven by the concepts of environment and sustainability. This is valid for both urban governance and the theoretical underpinnings of it, whereby professional training and the learning ways of doing, thinking and working on the city, shows some progressive changes. The panel will seek to understand why, however, the MENA seems to experience difficulties in ‘refreshing its software’ on regional, national and local theory and practice of urban planning.

VIth Mediterranean Congress of Aesthetics
Facts and Values in Aesthetics: Contemporary Stakes and Approaches
In a text entitled The Collapse of the Fact/Value Dichotomy and Other Essays (2004), Hilary Putnam argues convincingly against a classic opposition which does not serve philosophical reflection positively. Putnam’s analysis mostly focuses on the theory and practice of knowledge, but one can legitimately extend it to other fields, starting with that of aesthetics, which sooner or later is confronted with the question of whether one defends or rejects the dichotomy. Keeping or rejecting it implies reasons to do so, but often these reasons remain implicit, most especially in aesthetics.

Subjective dimensions of social vulnerability
Au-delà de consolider les connaissances sur la vulnérabilité dans ses différentes dimensions, ce séminaire international vise à déterminer un ensemble d'indicateurs, soit quantitatif soit qualitatif à vérifier dans la recherche transnational. Il s’agit de comprendre comment les sujets vivent de plus en plus individuellement au quotidien cette condition inédite « d'instabilité stable » et l’exposition aux nouveaux risques, thématiques qui seront au centre du séminaire que nous allons proposer.

Mediterranean Europe in the EU: spaces, cultures, policies and players
Officina della Storia Review
Economic crisis has turned on lights on Mediterranean Europe’s countries and the role-played in the European integration process and as interface between the EU and countries, policies and cultures coming from Mediterranean Area. Moreover, events such the Arab Spring have brought back the idea of Mediterranean as a wide and complex meeting place where cultures, faiths, different political and social experiences meet, and sometimes clash, developing opportunities of dialogue and integration.

Visible and invisible: perceiving the city between descriptions and omissions
VI AISU Congress – Macro-Session II - Numbers
The conference will focus on the many ways in which the city has been described, narrated, portrayed and quantified in words, numbers and images over the centuries. Description and representation techniques from ancient and medieval times onwards provide an opportunity to initiate a comparison between different cities and contexts, seeking different ways of perceiving the urban whole in its full complexity. -
