A Vienna, il prossimo 31 Marzo, al Centro Interdisciplinare per Urban Culture and Public Space, si terrà il meeting di AESOP Thematic Group on Public Spaces and Urban Cultures nell’ambito della Conferenza Internazionale UNSETTLED: Urban routines, temporalities and contestations.

Il meeting è il secondo degli incontri nell’ambito di Unstable geographies – dislocated publics organizzato presso la Faculty of Architecture and Planning di Vienna.

Gabriella Esposito, ricercatrice IRISS, è Co-coordinatore dell’evento.

The conference aims to explore conditions and conceptions of the unsettled. Urban life is characterized by diverse manifestations of instability which continuously stretch or redefine the social order and/or critical/community infrastructures of cities: everyday struggles related to the capitalist system of production, revolutions in political life and political system overthrows, quests for dominance and their oppositions in political, social, economic, ecological or cultural domains. These unsettling practices simultaneously challenge and nourish a variety of ideas of the city as an inclusive place of liberation, cooperation, equal opportunities and shared (better) futures. The goal of the conference is thus to understand the uncertainties, disturbances, inconsistencies, residuals and blind fields which constitute the urban both as lived space and the political idea, and foster an inquiry into the socio-political potentialities of unsettling and re-settling urban routines, temporalities and contestations.

International Conference, 29-31 March 2017, Vienna
