The LOEWE Research Area “Intrinsic Logic of Cities” at Technische Universität Darmstadt organizes another very interesting international conference.
Venice London Mumbai 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 structure this approach at the conference: Body, Space, Power, Infrastructure, Knowledge and Heritage.
Keynote lectures by Helmuth Berking, Friedrich Lenger, Sujata Patel and Kurt W. Foster.
Film and Talk with Ulrike Ottinger.
Panels on space, power, body, infrastructure, knowledge and heritage with Phil Hubbard, Fran Tonkiss, Trutz von Trotha, Loïc Wacquant, Stephen Graham, Olivier Coutard, Ulf Matthiesen, Brenda S.A. Yeoh and many more.
15. bis 17. Juni 2011,
Technische Universität Darmstadt
Conference Fees:
110€ regular fee | 50€ research assistants, low-income earners | 25€ students
