Dear colleagues,
Please note the extended deadline to submit an abstract for our panel in the next RC21 Conference in New Delhi on 18 - 21 September, which is now on January 31.
In our panel, Challenges of translocalisation for prevalent epistemologies of the urban, we aim to harness the diversity of worldwide approaches currently applied to study the production of urban dispersion. Assuming that the tendency towards translocalisation of everyday life has become sensible in cities worldwide, the panel will gather innovative epistemologies, mediated also by mappings and cartographies, adopted by scholars to understand the territorial dispersion of everyday (urban) life across the global north–south divide.
We ask: which materialist epistemologies can help discern the present translocalisation of everyday life? The question is essential vis-à-vis an apparent loss of permanence, diversity, and democratic space that, along with new legitimisations of “development”, threatens to reduce the scope for spatial contestations.
We welcome: papers that explore the social and political consequences of translocalisation and reflect also the ways by which inhabitants conceptualise the reconfiguring spaces. The contribution can be theoretical and empirical and should mirror the current challenges associated with the study of translocation of everyday life in, and beyond, cities.
Attached is a full description. Abstracts of 250 words can be sent to Elisa T. Bertuzzo ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Nitin Bathla ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>), with the RC21 team in copy ([log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
