  Call for papers - Urban studies

  Representing South African cities

  This conference proposes to present the latest developments in the research on South African cities, but also to offer an opportunity for academics from various fields (literature, social sciences, architecture, geography, visual arts, etc.) to compare their respective analysis and their theoretical conclusions with the imaginative, artistic representations of the cities of South Africa. The convenors therefore not only invite researchers from all fields to come and present their latest work on South African cities, but also strongly encourage papers which offer a cross-disciplinary approach, or joint presentations between researchers from various fields or academics and artists (writers, directors, photographs). Some major actors of the literary and art scene will be present to expose their views and discuss their works with researchers as well as with a wider, more general audience.This conference is part of the Official Season of South Africa in France.

  Portugal-Brasil-África: urbanismo e arquitetura do ecletismo ao modernismo (Séc. XIX-XX)

  Propõe-se como temática-base do Colóquio o “triângulo temático” Brasil-Portugal-África, nas suas componentes multifacetadas de uma comum Geografia, História e Cultura Urbana, com acento nos aspetos de articulação mútua, de influências, de interdependências. Pela primeira vez, neste tipo de ações culturais, estarão em diálogo e confronto estudos, análises e perspetivas comparadas de Portugal e Brasil, no plano do seu património edificado, respeitando a temas desde os séculos XIX  (do Romantismo ao Ecletismo), até ao período do Modernismo e da Modernidade, em pleno século XX.
