  Shaping Heritage-Scapes

  Processes of Patrimonialization in a globalised World

  The purpose of this multidisciplinary and international symposium is to give scholars from various backgrounds and geographical areas working on the topic of heritage and museums an opportunity to meet. We propose to regard them both as part of one and the same process referred to as patrimonialization that transform places, people, « traditions », and artefacts into heritage to be protected, exhibited, and highlighted. We welcome contributions that address this multifaceted process and focus on one of its aspects : objects, arenas, sites and paradigms.

  Self-managed Co-Housing: born out of need or new ways of life?

  In the 21st century, self-organized co-housing is re-appearing in many European countries, in new forms and larger numbers. Cohousing, cooperatives de logement, Genossenschaften or Samenhuizen are types of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighbourhoods. This "Le Studium® Conference" aims to look at co-housing initiatives in the perspective of sustainable spatial development. Its purpose is both to take stock of ongoing research and practices, as well as to set a research agenda and establish future collaborations.

  Power, Resistances and Tensions. History of Electric Mobilities, 19th-20th Centuries

  L'électricité est aujourd'hui employée pour de nombreuses formes de mobilité et nombreux sont les projets allant dans le sens d'un usage plus massif de cette énergie pour se déplacer. L'appel à communications de ce colloque se propose d'envisager sur le temps long cette relation entre électricité et mobilité, en interrogeant les pratiques et imaginaires d'une énergie qui, si elle a trouvé des applications concrètes dans le domaine des transports, s'est également bien souvent confrontée à des désillusions. Colloque organisé par l'Université Paris I (laboratoire IRICE UMR 8138) et l'Université Paris Diderot (laboratoire ICT EA 337) avec le soutien de l'ISCC-CNRS.

  What is coalition? Reflections on the conditions of alliance formation with Judith Butler’s work

  This one-day conference aims to reflect – historically, sociologically, philosophically – on the conditions of possibility, on the objects, means and purposes of alliance formation – between minorities, with the State, political parties, and other public actors, or between disciplines, or even across species (e.g. animal-human), etc. –, of political transformation, and thus of a collective agency, in both domestic and international contexts, through the concrete and generic question of “What is coalition?” – with special interest for the ways in which critical perspectives inspired from feminist and queer theory can be made into productive tools to theorize the political at various levels, at different times and locations, but also to intervene and do better democratic work.

  Ambiances in action

  The second International Congress on Ambiances is an international gathering for researchers, artists and players engaged in analyzing the ambiance-related dimensions of the built environment and in the sensory construction of the contemporary world. Many approaches are at work in the field of architectural and urban ambiance, and these multiple contributions nurture its rich diversity. The Congress aims to give voice to this activity, feeding on work exploring new forms of exchange between what is designed and what is experienced, between the measured and the qualified, the projected and the tested, the material and the immaterial. The Congress will be held for four days at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), in Montreal, from 19 to 22 September 2012. It will seek to express advances in learning and new hypotheses proposed by the various disciplines and fields of activity which address the question of ambiances.
