The analytical separation of time and space bears inherent limitations. Space and time should be investigated as intertwined. This conference aims at a more sophisticated understanding of time/space dynamics in urban settings.
By time/space dynamics we do not refer to all possible relations of time and space, but to particular phenomena that emerge out of the crossing of time and space; phenomena where time and space become a constitutive condition for one another.
In looking at time/space dynamics in urban settings, we address the specificity of ‘the urban’, which is particularly relevant in light of the re-scaling of capitalism in relation to the urban arena, the ongoing urbanization of society, and the innovative and paradigmatic role of cities in socio-economic and cultural development.
At the same time, disciplinary differences in the conceptions and analytical approaches to time/space dynamics persist. A central objective of this conference is to introduce a meta-level of discussion and reflection on disciplinary specificities and interdisciplinary work.
The conference is divided in four panels: Mediated Spaces, Ephemeral Spaces, Soundscapes and Other Spaces.
As the number of seats is limited, registration is required at info@metropolitanstudies.de.
