The materials of historical interest that build up the urban heritage: correlations, uses, landscapes

Dossier temático nr. 16: Cadernos do arquivo municipal

To this Thematic Dossier, we suggest to focus on these materials, having in mind the relation between built heritage, knowledge and society. It is proposed a multidisciplinary, wide and diversified approach of the various aspects that influence the patrimonial existence of cities. It aims to explore diversified aspects of mediation between these materials and cultural heritage. Thus, all are invited to present creative and original studies and reflections.

Renewals for Architecture and Social Housing?

8th thematics folder of the “Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère” (Craup)

This call for papers concerns social housing, a rapidly changing and significant field for those who practice architecture, landscape architecture and spatial planning. Present throughout Europe at various levels, from 4% in Romania to 32% in the Netherlands, social housing heavily contributes to urban renewal. Through its material and non-material renovation, as well as the evolution of meanings, stakeholders and populations, new dynamics emerge that influence architectural, urban and landscape forms, modes of living and careers in spatial production. This volume seeks to identify and decode these dynamics through three axes: 1) Towards new models; 2) Between heritage, urban renewal and sustainable development; 3) Spatial forms and social arrangements.

Latino-American cities

Des chercheurs du monde entier, et notamment originaires de la région latino-américaine, viennent présenter leurs travaux, réalisés depuis une perspective comparative et située, et sélectionnés dans le souci d'une approche pluridisciplinaire. Les thèmes qui ont animé leurs recherches s'articulent autour de la complexité et des conflits de(s) politique(s) de l'habitat, des manières de repenser l'informalité et la précarité urbaine, et de la politisation des rapports des habitants à la nature en contexte urbain. Nous aurons aussi la chance de recevoir des experts sur les questions urbaines et plus largement socio-spatiales, qui animeront les discussions à l'issue de chaque session de présentations.

Urban fears, 16-21th century

The notion of “urban fears” is not new but can be reexamined, in a newly initiated approach of an “emotional” approach to the city, a study of the emotions of inhabitants. “Urban fears” will be defined as collective feelings of anxiety, in urban populations, about events occurring or likely to occur in the city where they live, and for a sufficient period of time not to be considered anecdotal. “Dangerous classes” of the lowlands, riots, natural, climatic, environmental, epidemic, food disasters, irrational fears, rumours and urban legends will be the focus of our attention.

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

Municipalisation and urban management in Mozambique

Le Mozambique est encore très largement géré par l'administration de l'État central: il n'y a que 58 municipalités, toutes urbaines. La questionne est donc très politique, puisque toute avancée de la municipalisation permet à l'opposition d'acquérir plus de poids, même si le parti au pouvoir garde le contrôle sur la majorité d'entre elles. Ce colloque international aura lieu une dizaine de jours après la tenue des élections municipales d'octobre 2018, qui seront un test grandeur nature pour les élections présidentielles et législatives de l'année suivante...

Urbicide - urban destruction and renaissance (16th-21st centuries)

Ce colloque se propose d'aborder les différents aspects des destructions urbaines : guerres, catastrophes naturelles ou industrielles, accidents majeurs, « villes-fantômes », opérations radicales de remodelage urbain, etc. Outre sa large envergure chronologique, il couvre aussi une vaste aire géographique, les études portant sur des situations extra-européennes étant particulièrement attendues. On traitera aussi bien des causes et modalités de l'urbicide, que des réactions des populations urbaines confrontées à ce phénomène ou encore de l'« après » urbicide.

Housing the working classes in the city - private initiatives and public interventions

Entre initiatives privées et interventions publiques

Depuis plusieurs années, différents colloques ont abordé la question du logement social sous l’angle des politiques sociales urbaines, des ségrégations urbaines, ou encore par le biais des offices d’HLM (habitation à loyer modéré), alors que des recherches récentes interrogent la pérennité du modèle généraliste français dans un contexte de rigueur budgétaire. Ce colloque propose de revisiter la construction du modèle français de logements populaires, depuis les premiers questionnements du milieu du XIX^e siècle jusqu’à nos jours. La longue durée doit permettre de réinvestir des sources déjà exploitées, mais aussi d’en présenter d’autres, méconnues, afin d’éclairer plus particulièrement la mise en place puis l’évolution du couple initiatives privées / interventions publiques.

Inequality and uncertainty: current challenges for cities

III Mid-Term Conference Of The Urban Sociology Research Network 37 Of European Sociological Association In Madrid (Spain), Uned

It is not possible to ignore the fact that cities are not only moving, vibrant and flourishing spaces, promising hope for better quality of life, but also accumulate and reflect significant problems. We need to recognise the complexity of economic, political, social, cultural and environmental mechanisms, which strengthen existing inequalities and add a great deal of uncertainty to life in cities and urban spaces of the globalised world. We want to gain a better understanding of the impact and consequences of inequality and uncertainty on the urban arena as much as the responses to current challenges in terms of both informal and institutional practices.

Home as a place for anti-Jewish persecution in European cities, 1933-1945

Anti-Jewish persecution didn’t only happen in specifically designed or transformed spaces such as camps and ghettos. It invaded spaces of everyday life in European cities: public spaces, work places and private spaces such as homes. In this landscape not only Jews and agents of persecution appear but also their immediate residential environment: concierges, neighbors, nannies, landlords, property managers, sub-tenants, local administrations, etc. These figures have an essential place in the memories of Jewish survivors. Though, so far, scholars have hardly addressed their role. The spatial turn that occurred during the last fifteen years in Anglophone Holocaust studies focused on the symbolic places of genocide. It mostly neglected apartment blocks and ordinary cities as spaces of persecution. This conference thus intends to focus on urban housing as a place for anti-Jewish persecution.

Hospitalitie(s)

Space(s) of care, tension and presence

Above all, the call for papers emphasizes the correlation between hospitality and space. Jacques Godbout, in his article "Receiving is to give", specifies that hospitality is a "gift of space". So what are the characteristics of these given spaces? Are they permanent, temporary or transitional? Are there inherent areas of hospitality? And how are they built? From hospitals to home, what are these spaces and what is their spatial nature? And what meaning of hospitality do these spaces convey? What kind of space does hospitality produce?

Rehabilitating transnational cultural assets in Europe - Strasbourg municipal baths (1908/10)

Perspectives for documentation and future exploitation

Les bains municipaux de Strasbourg (1908/10) sont un parimoine culturel transnational d'un genre unique au monde. Fleuron de la politique sociale très progressiste de la municipalité alsacienne au temps du Reichsland allemand, ils comprennent deux bassins, des bains-douches, des bains romains, ainsi qu'une aile médicale. Restés quasiment intacts durant leur service ininterrompu depuis plus de cent ans, ils doivent subir une rénovation importante afin de pouvoir continuer à fonctionner. Au moment où la Ville de Strasbourg discute de la meilleure façon pour préparer ce patrimoine pour l'avenir, une perspective franco-allemande a pour objectif d'esquisser des perspectives d'action sur le fonds de rénovations qui ont déjà eu lieu en Allemagne.
