This international, multidisciplinary call for papers is addressed to researchers from Europe and elsewhere whose
work is directly related to civil society initiatives that target "reclaiming" public space in contemporary cities. The
disciplines concerned are urbanism, design, architecture, sociology, anthropology, political sciences, philosophy,
history, geography, law, etc. The call for papers looks for significant contributions from the academic world as well
as contributions from independent research groups, networks or institutions. The concept of "research" should be
understood broadly. It includes theoretical works but also other types of research grounded in the field, in which the
participatory and experimental dimensions are more significant, such as “action” research, "by design" research,
etc.
Proposals should respond to one of the highlights described below, which should be mentioned explicitly. They
should not exceed 2,000 characters (spaces included, see the template) and should be sent by 14 October 2011
at the latest to the following e-mail address: symposium@humancities.eu
In case of validation by the scientific board, a final text (maximum 30,000 characters, spaces included) will also
be requested.
The proposals and the final texts should be drafted in English, the official language of the symposium. They
should be drafted in a clear, accessible language, potentially adapted to a non-specialized audience.
