Journal Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais (RCCS), No. 99 Call for Papers

Special Issue: Beyond the Creative City Editors: Nancy Duxbury, Carlos Fortuna, José António Bandeirinha, and Paulo Peixoto
Cities, Cultures, and Architecture Research Group
Centre for Social Studies (CES), University of Coimbra, Portugal

The point of departure for this special issue is the politically prevalent but heavily critiqued trend for cities to participate in an international race for ‘hip’ promotional identities and economic competitiveness through investing in flagship architectural projects and building districts to attract mobile creative talent. While contributing to interesting urban renewal and ‘economic re‐invention’ strategies in many cities, these approaches also tended to neglect issues of social equity and inclusion, spawned dislocation of existing artist/creative communities, and favoured ‘big and flashy’ globally circulating art products (exhibits, performances, artists) over nurturing approaches to ‘authentic’ local cultures and heritage. While this approach is still evident, it is no longer seen as the only path to creative urban renewal and economic development, and there is growing need to propose and examine alternate approaches that are more culturally sensitive to local realities and issues; environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable; and attentive to issues of inclusion, justice, and multicultural realities. The bright political and media spotlights
on ‘creative city’ investments and initiatives – and the research attention placed on these developments – tend to have placed other socio‐cultural options in the shadows. It is time to explore these alternate spaces, ideas, strategies, and socio‐cultural forces at play, which may point to and elaborate alternate creative development patterns. The issue seeks to bring together creative and interdisciplinary perspectives from socio‐anthropology, arts and cultural studies, architecture, cultural policy, and other disciplines examining the organization, uses, and images of urban space. Topics of articles may analyze (but are not restricted to): urban lifestyles and means of resistance, socioeconomic conditions and empowerment of residents through artistic/cultural initiatives, the impacts of tourism and ‘creative city’ initiatives on cities over the last decade, affirmations of cultural
expressions, and the democratic governance of cities. Revista Crítica de Ciências Sociais is a peer‐reviewed journal. All submitted works are graded by three

Under 2008-2009 bedrev Östergötlands museumprojektet K-märkt på schemat – östgötsk ungdom på spaning. Vi var ute i sex högstadieklasser runtom i länet och diskuterade kulturmiljöfrågor. Projektet bestod bl.a. av enkäter, klassrumsträffar med värderingsövningar, platsanalyser vid bebyggda miljöer i skolans närhet samt elevernas k-märkning av byggnader de vill bevara för framtiden. Resultatet redovisades i en fotoutställning på museet. Under projektets gång fördes dialog med de inblandade lärarna – huruvida de använder sig av den bebyggda miljön som ett pedagogiskt verktyg i undervisningen. Det märktes att det fanns ett behov av ett material som kan inspirera och vägleda. Nu har lärarhandledningen Hus på schemat – upptäck platserna runt knuten! kommit från tryckeriet.
