Am 7./8.November 2008 wird in der Technischen Universität Berlin die Konferenz "The right to the city" stattfinden.
Peter Marcuse ist der VIP dieser Veranstaltung, wobei vielen Anderen ebenfalls ein Podium geboten werden wird.
Die Konferenz will sich mit den folgenden Fragen beschäftigen:
• How best to capture the transformation of cities under contemporary
capitalism? To what extent can such transformations be understood
through notions of neo-capitalism, neoliberalism or globalization?
• What is “critical” about critical urban and social theory today? Is
the Frankfurt School still relevant?
• How does “space” structure and result from forms of inequality, and
how has this role changed in both historical and contemporary contexts?
• Is another type of city—and society—possible? Are there lessons to be
drawn from earlier 20th century experiments, or those of the GDR?
• What are the possibilities and limits of “urban planning”?
• Oppositional movements yesterday and today: in what ways can which of
them be actors for social change?
The conference is made possible by the support of the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft, the Center for Metropolitan Studies and the
Transatlantisches Graduiertenkolleg Berlin-New York, and the
Rosa-Luxemburg Foundation.
HEIßER TIPP!
