Call for papers of the AESOP Thematic Group on Public Spaces and Urban Cultures 2021 International Meeting. BETWEEN THE HOME & THE SQUARE – Greece, 22/23 October 2021

01 Apr 2021

The CNR IRISS researchers Stefania Ragozino (coordinator of the AESOP Thematic Group on Public Spaces and Urban Cultures) and Gabriella Esposito De Vita (Member of the Scientific Commitee of the Conference) would like to invite you to participate in the Meeting “Between the home and the square: bridging the boundaries of public space” in Thessaloniki, Greece, on 22 and 23 October 2021.

The meeting is structured around the concept of boundaries of public space and the relation between public space and more private spheres of urban life, like the home.

By taking an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, the meeting will discuss, challenge and rethink traditional boundaries between public and private, legal and illegal, planned and unplanned, formal and informal, natural and social, digital and material, familiar and uncanny.

Moreover, the meeting will reflect on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the making and unmaking of boundaries within the public space as well as between public space and home.

The Conference is free of charge as for TG PSUC policy.

Abstract submissions can be made at the conference site until 17 May 2021
