The CRESC annual conference 2011 takes the rubric of ‘framing’ to scrutinise the processes by which the city has been  conceptualised, conceived , ordered and depicted – and how these processes have been disrupted and contested – in regard to the meta-themes of: the material, ecologies and environments, publics & politics, economies, the visual, and affect.

Amsterdam 7-9 July 2011

The central concern of the Research Committee 21 annual conference is the ways in which individuals and communities in an urban context respond to the major social processes of globalisation and individualisation: how do they articulate various forms of diversity and develop inclusive or exclusive strategies to ‘belong’? Moreover, we aim to understand better what types of (new) policy responses and forms of governance have developed to manage diversity in urban settings. Read More

International Conference | 15th-17th of June 2011, Darmstadt (Germany)

Venice is different from London and in Mumbai we will expect to have radically other experiences than in Paris. The simple mentioning of city names calls up mental images in us, positive or negative, exotic or banal. Cities appear to be dynamic or progressive, cosmopolitan or sentimental, but what is the origin of such images and associations?

The question of the international conference “The Distinctiveness of Cities | Modes of Re-Production” is the intrinsic logic of cities. Six thematic fields will serve to structure the approach taken to these questions at the conference on “The Distinctiveness of Cities | Modes of Reproduction”:
Body | Space | Power | Infrastructure | Knowledge | Heritage

Keynote lectures by Helmuth Berking, Friedrich Lenger, Sujata Patel and Kurt W. Foster. Talk and Film with Ulrike Ottinger.
Panel lectures by Fran Tonkiss, Trutz von Trotha, Stephen Graham, Phil Hubbard, Olivier Coutard, Ulf Mathiesen, Brenda S.A. Yeoh and many more.
