Call for session Proposals: International Conference on Cities and Change:Three Decades of Post-Socialist Transition, May 17-18, 2019
CALL FOR SESSION PROPOSALS
Conference theme
After the collapse of state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE),
the former socialist countries’ inclusion into the competitive global
economies advanced as both; temporally and spatially uneven processes.
These uneven processes presented myriad diversities, thereby implying
significant shifts and high levels of creativity in finding ways of
adapting to new forms of socio-political realities, which in turn offered a
multitude of opportunities for urban research. Subsequently, scholarly
attention has been paid particularly on examining interconnections between
historical-, sociological-, and market-related aspects of transitioning
processes. However, the exact implications of their spatial transformations
have been largely absent within systematic research. Contrary to the often
more adaptable socio-political structures of cities, built urban
environment requires more time to adapt to changes and consequently reflect
the new ideological concepts. This thereby warrants thirty years of
comprehensive transition (1989-2019) as an optimum point of departure for
undertaking a thorough and in-depth reflection. Hence, the international
conference “Three Decades of Post-socialist Transition” seeks to bring
together leading urban academics to discuss issues of post-socialist
transition and a multitude of its effects on built urban environment from
diverse perspectives. In addition, we also aim to challenge and advance
both our knowledge and practice around the complex links within the
neoliberal development agenda, socio-political changes, post-socialist
identity formation, representation of cities and the urban space.
The research group Urban Morphosis Lab invites you to submit abstracts that
refer to the above-mentioned issues of post-socialist transition affecting
urban spaces. Our conference also welcomes inter- and transdisciplinary
approaches to this subject. Some of the key themes that will be discussed
during the conference are:
-
Urban memory and heritage
-
Contested heritage and heritage of conflict
-
Urban and national identity building
-
Governance, planning, revitalization and regeneration
-
Urban shrinkage and sustainability
-
Urban tourism, branding and marketing
-
Socio-political contestations and negotiations
-
Gentrification, spatial segregation and polarization
