Dear colleagues,
UNSETTLED
Urban routines, temporalities and contestations
International Conference, 29-31 March 2017, Vienna
Keynote Speakers
Prof. Dr. Mustafa Dikec, Professor of Urban Studies, Ecole d’Urbanisme de Paris and LATTS, France
Prof. Dr. Sophie Watson, Professor of Sociology, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, Open University, UK
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 idea(l)s of the city as an inclusive place of liberation, cooperation, equal opportunities and
shared (better) futures. The goal of the conference is thus to (1) understand the uncertainties, disturbances, inconsistencies, residuals and blind fields which constitute the urban both as lived space and the political idea(l), and (2) foster an inquiry into
the socio-political potentialities of unsettling and re-settling urban routines, temporalities and contestations.
