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.

The research group Art & Site is launching a call for proposals for its conference entitled Public Art, Sites, and Digital Cultures: Image Streams and the Lives of Artworks which will be held at the University of Montreal from May 29 to 30, 2019. The conference will aim to interrogate various artistic phenomena, connecting works of art, the image in its broadest sense (image of cities, image of institutions, etc.), photography in the strictest sense, and public space in all its diversity.

Rethinking the History of the Rust Belt since 1945
This region, stretching from western New York to eastern Iowa, was until the middle of the 20th century the country's manufacturing and industrial heartland. From the Great Migrations that radically transformed its demographics to the weakening of its economic model, as well as the massive struggles waged by local workers and protagonists of the Civil Rights movement, the political and social history of the Rust Bel. By bringing into dialogue the ongoing or recently completed research of doctoral students and junior academics with a view to opening up new perspectives on the history of the Rust Belt, from a range of disciplines (history, sociology, political science, geography), we intend to highlight spaces and actors too often relegated to the margins of this region’s history, despite their having decisively contributed to shaping the contemporary Rust Belt

Colonial urban territories from Antiquity - founding, populating, inhabiting, governing
Fonder, peupler, habiter, gouverner
Les phénomènes coloniaux ont très largement été des phénomènes urbains. De même, la création de territoires urbains (villes nouvelles, infrastructures, settlements, etc.) sont régulièrement qualifiés de « colonial ». Ainsi, au croisement des études urbaines et des études coloniales, cet atelier doctoral envisage donc d'interroger, à l'aune de cas d'étude situés, aussi bien diverses situations coloniales que la prolifération contemporaine des discours qualifiant telle ou telle situation urbaine de « coloniale ».

Moving Cities: Contested Views on Urban Life
Contemporary cities are spaces and places traversed by a diversity of movements, making them very special locus for analysing society. In times of digital information, conferences are very important spaces to debate current issues, showcase emerging research and discuss new approaches. Our will is to create a cross-disciplinary space of scientific debate open to sociologists and other scientists from other disciplines interested in analysing and understanding urban life in moving cities around the globe. We welcome papers from young and senior academics developing research on cities and urban life, expecting that everyone can take useful insights to their works from their participation in this conference.

Call for papers - Urban studies
In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

Lieux scéniques à Berlin et à Paris : perspectives franco-allemandes
Un lieu de musique réinvente-t-il la ville ? Atelier de recherche franco-allemand
Le Centre de recherches interdisciplinaires sur l’Allemagne (CRIA) initie un programme de recherche sur l'édification de nouveaux lieux de musique dans des espaces urbains en recomposition. Il s'agira d'évaluer dans quelle mesure l'édification d'un nouveau lieu de musique génère-t-elle une refondation des publics et des territoires – espaces environnants, réseaux culturels, projet urbain. Ce programme de recherche est largement interdisciplinaire, puisqu'il rassemble des historiens, des géographes, des ethnomusicologues, des architectes ou encore des urbanistes. Plusieurs terrains empiriques ont été retenus dans ce projet franco-allemand (auquel sont associé le Centre Marc Bloch, l'université Humboldt et l'Universität der Kunste de Berlin) : la future Philharmonie de Paris, à l'interface entre Paris et sa banlieue, l’Elbphilharmonie de Hambourg, qui s’inscrit dans un projet de requalification urbaine de la zone portuaire, et le nouvel auditorium de Radio France, "chantier dans un chantier", avec les contraintes d'un bâtiment existant et en activité. Du 12 au 16 novembre 2012, un atelier de recherche franco-allemand soutenu par le CIERA combinera exposés de spécialistes de sciences sociales et d’étudiants, et visites de différents sites (Philharmonie de Paris, Radio France, Opéra Bastille, etc.), au cours desquelles seront présentés les lieux mais aussi les différents projets musicaux et culturels en présence de leurs responsables. -

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. -
