<b>Paper abstract from the organisers : </b></div>
</div>
This paper will explore the emergence of 'East End' as a category of description and analysis in fiction and social scientific discourse.<br />
<br />
Where, exactly (or even approximately!), was the 'East End' and what were its social, cultural and geographical attributes? The paper will pay particular attention to the writings of George Gissing, whose reputation as a novelist of slum life has often led to his being associated with the East End; to the relationship between Gissing and other 'East Enders', such as Arthur Morrison, Walter Besant and the Rev. Osborne Jay; and to the parallels and interactions between Gissing's fiction and Charles Booth's Labour and Life of the People and the associated 'Descriptive Map of London Poverty 1889'. Of special interest is Gissing's early novel, The Unclassed. In its first edition as a three-volume novel (1884), the slums that play a prominent role in The Unclassed were situated in Westminster, but by 1895, in revising – mainly abridging – the novel into a single volume, Gissing relocated the slums to the East End, reflecting shifts in both popular perceptions of the East End and 'real' ongoing changes in the geography of poverty in London in the 1890s that are also revealed by the 1898–99 revised edition of Booth's poverty maps.</div>

<b>Paper abstract from the organisers : </b></div>
</div>
This paper looks at East London life before Victorian observers 'invented', 'ideologically constructed', 'mythicised', or 'problematised' the 'East End' (as the fashionable phrases nowadays go). It sets aside the Victorian judgements and anxieties through which many historians still filter their views of East London and, without denying its deprivations, it speculates how best we might treat its 'low life' in its own and more positive terms.<br />
<br />
Recalling Dr Johnson's advice to Boswell in 1783 to go with curious eye and philosophic mind to Wapping the better to measure London's 'wonderful extent and variety', the paper focuses on the century after 1750 or so, to wonder what it was that outsiders were responding to when they described East Enders as 'happy', and allowed them their own exuberant vitality.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
This article provides a comparative analysis of different institutional approaches to dealing with antagonistic group identity claims on the city. I discuss Brussels, Johannesburg, Belfast, Sarajevo, Jerusalem, Baghdad, and Kirkuk. These cities are broken down into three categories—(1) cities that have utilized power sharing and forms of transitional democratization effectively enough that stability of the local and national state has occurred, (2) cities that have made some progress but are vulnerable to regression because local political arrangements are not sufficiently stabilizing, and (3) cities where power sharing is itself contested and a potential contributor to further instability. The case studies of local governance of polarized cites reported point to their institutional diversity, frequent fragility, and the evolutionary nature of even the “best case” examples. A difficult predicament is faced by local government reform in cities of inter-group conflict. Shared local governance arrangements need to produce measurable differences on the ground in the short term sufficient to allow institutional legitimacy. Yet, necessary power-sharing limitations on local democracy may make local government less effective in producing these needed tangible changes.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
The colloquium will be focused on one particular city – London – and will bring together the themes of food growing, ‘public’ space and the city to explore thought-provoking questions around food equity, access to public and semi-private space, and the ability of different socio-economic groups to establish their own interests in city planning and construction processes that have consequences for private and community-based food production and distribution (e.g. the provision and retention of community food growing spaces, the creation of productive and educative school grounds, the provision of housing with growing and food preparation spaces). The issue of food, food production and public spaces in cities is currently high on the political agenda. While urban agriculture has a long history, contemporary concerns over the environmental impacts of ‘food miles’ and our industrialised countryside, food security issues, together with growing recognition of the health, social and community benefits of gardening, are driving the issue of local urban food production up the political agenda. With waiting lists for allotments in Camden, for example, currently stretching to an estimated 40 years, and with the nation’s front gardens disappearing under tarmac car parking, attention is turning to the food growing potential of a multitude of overlooked and undervalued city sites.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
From the late 1980s the production of urban space in Asia has been proceeding under historically new dynamics that are rapidly transforming city life. One dimension of these dynamics is the emergence of a middle class that is pushing for political reform and greater participation in urban governance. At the same time, in an ascendant neoliberal policy era of diminishing scope for public policy, intensifying inter-city competition for global investment and status is turning the economy and political orientation of the city outward toward global accumulation and private management of urban space. As these dynamics interplay, a contest is emerging between two contrasting visions of the urban future. One is the idea of the city as an inclusive cosmopolis actively accommodating diversity and local production of urban space. The other is one of an extroverted globopolis of homogeneous spaces of consumption designed to protect those who are able to access them from the “chaos” of the city of the less wealthy and the poor. While democratization and the rise of civil society provide openings for more cosmopolitan outcomes, fragmentation of the city through mega-projects privatizing urban spaces on very large scales is steering the city toward a globopolis composed of zones of exclusion. The future of cities will depend on how the balance is struck between these two visions of a livable city.</div>

</div>
The nature of Asian urbanization has been the object of theoretical attention for almost two decades. A central theme in the discussion revolves around the dissolution of the city and countryside divide; and the question of whether the city is winning (through urbanization) or if the countryside is losing in the development game. Such issues however are much more complex in Asia. For instance, Terry McGee (who is among the first to consider the specificity of the region), defines urbanization as “the emergence of (peri-urban) regions of highly-mixed rural and non-rural activity surrounding the large urban cores.” Yet, with studies mostly centered on the processes of urbanization, very little attention has been given to the political formation of the peri-urban. This talk, through a case study of Indonesia, attempts to place the peri-urban in its historical context in order to understand the political processes that have made its formation possible.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor :</b></div>
</div>
When I arrived at college in the early 1980s, drugs were cool, music was cool, and drug-music was especially cool. The coolest of the cool drug-music bands was The Velvet Underground. They were from the mean streets of New York City (The Doors were from the soft parade of L.A….); they hung out with Andy Warhol (The Beatles hung out with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi…); they had a female drummer (The Grateful Dead had two drummers, but that still didn’t help…); and, of course, they did heroin. Or at least they wrote a famous song about it. We did not do heroin, but we thought that those who did–like Lou Reed and the rest–were hipper than hip. I imagine we would have done it if there had been any around (thank God for small favors).<br />
<br />
We thought we had discovered something new. But as Eric C. Schneider points out in his marvelous Smack: Heroin and the American City (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008), the conjunction of music, heroin, and cool was hardly an invention of my generation. The three came together in the 1940s, when smack-using bebop players (think Charlie Parker) taught the “Beat Generation” that heroin was hip. Neither was my generation the last to succumb to a heroin fad. The triad of music, heroin, and cool united again in the 1990s, when drug-addled pop-culture icons such as Jim Carroll (The Basketball Diaries), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), and Calvin Klein (of “heroin chic” fame) taught “Generation X” the same lesson. History, or at least the history of heroin, repeats itself.<br />
<br />
For white, middle-class folks like me heroin chic was an episode, a rebellious moment in an otherwise “normal” American life. But as Schneider makes clear, the passage of heroin from cultural elites to the population at large was not always so benign, particularly in the declining inner-cities of the 1960s and 1970s. Here heroin had nothing to do with being cool and everything to do with earning a living and escaping reality. For millions of impoverished, hopeless, urban-dwelling hispanics and blacks, heroin was a paycheck and a checkout. The drug helped destroy the people in the inner-city, and thus the inner-city itself.<br />
<br />
In response to the “heroin epidemic” of the 1960s and 1970s, the government launched the first war on drugs, focusing its energy on “pushers.” But there were no “pushers” because–and this is the greatest insight in a book full of great insights–pushing was not the way heroin use spread, either among middle-class college kids or the down-and-out of New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. No one pushed heroin on anyone. Rather, users taught their friends how to use; in turn, those friends–now users–taught their friends, and so on. Heroin stealthily spread through personal networks. The only part of the process that was visible was the result: in the case of suburban college kids, bad grades and rehab; in the case of poor urban hispanics and blacks, crime and incarceration.<br />
<br />
Not surprisingly, when the heroin “epidemic” ended, it was not due to the war on drugs. Heroin simply fell out of fashion, in this case being replaced by another fashionable drug, powder and crack cocaine. Today we are fighting cocaine just as we fought heroin, and, by all appearances, with similar success.</div>

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
Swyngedouw points to a climate of global consensus that has become pervasive over the past twenty years, effectively suppressing dissent and excluding most people from governance. He explains this consensus as limited to a select group (e.g., elite politicians, business leaders, NGOs, experts from a variety of fields) and perpetuated through "empty signifiers" like the sustainable/creative/world-class city. Swyngedouw argues that this consensus serves a "post-political" neoliberal order in which governments fail to address citizens' most basic needs in order to subsidize the financial sector and take on grandiose projects designed to attract global capital. He asserts that the flipside of management through limited consensus is rebellion on the part of the excluded, which he views as insurgent architecture and planning that claims a place in the order of things. Swyngedouw calls for open institutional channels for enacting dissent, fostering a democratic politics based on equal opportunity for all in shaping the decisions that affect our lives. He envisions the city as "insurgent polis" — a new agora where democratic politics can take place, where anyone can make a case for changing the existing framework.</div>

Troisième et dernier volet des Universités populaires radiophoniques proposées par Grenouille et l’association Art-Cade autour du projet Archist, à la convergence des pratiques de l’art contemporain et de réflexions sur la ville.<br />
<br />
Enregistré en public le 28 mai 2011, place Jean-Jaurès dans le quartier de St Marcel, nous sommes en compagnie de <b>Stany Cambot</b>, architecte et animateur du collectif Echelle Inconnue, pour aborder la ville sous l’angle de la mobilité. Une notion derrière laquelle se profile aussi la question de l’articulation entre pragmatisme et utopie en urbanisme.<br />
<br />
Une conversation qui commence par poser quelques repères historiques sur l’Utopia de Thomas More, l’urbanisme "idéal" au XVIIIe et XIXe siècle, la Smala, exemple unique d’une ville nomade dessinée en Algérie par l’émir Abdelkader pour échapper aux colons français.<br />
<br />
Nous abordons ensuite la question des mobilités dans les villes actuelles : la place qu’y occupent les gens du voyage, les migrants ou les SDF, à travers les travaux et projets menés par Echelle Inconnue.</div>

<div><b>Présentation du café-géo par l'organisateur :</b><br />
<br />
La plupart des capitales d’Etats aux Etats-Unis comptent une population relativement faible, contrairement au Canada ou à l’Australie, où primatie politique et démographique sont étroitement associées à l’échelle des villes. Aborder la question de la faiblesse démographique renvoie à la façon d’analyser les Etats-Unis avec un regard de géographe. Il ne faut absolument pas tomber dans le stéréotype qui associe à la plupart des villes américaines des phénomènes de mégalopolisation, ou de ségrégation, à l’exception de quelques espaces sanctuarisés.<br />
<br />
La capitale d’Etat incarne à la fois la municipalité, l’Etat qu’elle symbolise et le capitole. Quel rôle joue-t-elle vraiment dans le cadre du fédéralisme ? Quelles pratiques urbaines peut-on observer dans ces villes ? La notion de « powerful » doit-elle être entendue au sens de puissance économique, politique, ou encore civique et mémorielle ?<br />
<br />
Cette réflexion sera suivie d’une étude de cas portant sur Pierre, la capitale de l’Etat du Dakota du Sud.<br />

<div><b>Abstract from the distributor : </b></div>
</div>
I used to live in Washington DC, not far from a place I learned to call the “U Street Corridor.” I really had no idea why it was a “corridor” (most places in DC are just “streets”) or why a lot of folks seemed to make a big deal out if it. Don’t get me wrong. It was nice. There are coffee shops, jazz clubs, and the place is full of beautiful late Victorian architecture. But I confess I really didn’t understand what the “U Street Corridor” was.<br />
<br />
Having read Blair Ruble‘s terrific <a target="_blank" href="http://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/ecom/MasterServlet/GetItemDetailsHandler?iN=9780801898006&qty=1&source=2&viewMode=3&loggedIN=false&JavaScript=y">Washington’s U Street: A Biography</a> (Johns Hopkins UP/Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2010), I can confidently say that now I get it. U Street was arguably the first urban area in the post-bellum United States in which African Americans formed a vital, sophisticated, wealthy, and identifiably modern “negro” (as they would have said) culture. Today we take it for granted that African Americans make a vital contribution to the cultural life (though not only that) of the United States. At the end of the Civil War, that wasn’t so. The vast majority of Blacks were southern, rural, and poor. If they appeared on the stage of national culture (and they almost never did), it was through the devices of minstrels in black-face. As Ruble points out, all that changed on U Street in the early 20th century, the birthplace of modern African American culture. Now I know, and I’m glad I do. Read the book, and you’ll know too.</div>

Dans son travail de recherche, elle explore la complexité de notre rapport aux lieux, à travers l'interaction entre notre sensorialité et leur matérialité. Son exposé s'appuie sur une étude géographique en dialogue avec les neurosciences menée dans trois micro-quartiers parisiens. Y a-t-il homogénéité de représentations des lieux en fonction de leur "nature" ? Du point de vue des sensibilités, vivons-nous la même chose dans un lieu ? Quelle place de la nature dans le fait de s'y sentir bien ? L'auteur propose, à partir d'une définition élargie de la nature, une lecture particulière des modes d'habiter en ville intégrant la dimension sensible et la complexité de la nature humaine. <br />
