Nordic Geographers Meeting 2019
(Trondheim, Norway, June 16-19, 2019) EXPLORING URBAN TEMPORALITIES Session Conveners: Dr. Tatiana Fogelman, Dr. Linda Lapina, Prof. David Pinder, Prof. Garbi Schmidt; Roskilde University, Denmark Dr. Bahar Sakizlioglu; University of Leicester, UK With the relationship between the present and the future at its core, sustainability is shot through with the temporal. Yet, temporal concerns have rarely been systematically addressed in sustainability research, including critical scholarship on politics of sustainability. Departing from a broad understanding of sustainability centered on the social and the urban, this session explores how time operates within and constitutes life in the city in uneven, multifold ways. Recently, time has been given more sustained attention as a modality of power with cultural and material effects that impinges on and is worked through in everyday life (Bastian, 2014; Bear, 2016; Birth, 2017; Huebener, 2015; Sharma, 2013, 2014). This session builds on research that conceives time not as a static and linear but as dynamic, emerging through social relations involving human and nonhuman actors (Bastian, 2011; Birth, 2014; Neimanis & Walker, 2014; Rahman, 2015; Rossini & Toggweiler, 2017). It also expands on the work on rhythms and temporal choreographies as constitutive of everyday urban life (Sharma & Towns, 2016). The goal is to continue unraveling temporal politics (e.g. Sharma 2014), exploring how different constructions of time produce and are produced by different forms of relationality and sociality. Seeking to address how complex and divergent temporalities structure urban life, and are enacted in cities, we invite papers that address (amongst other topics) the following: - Waste and temporality - Rhythms and politics of sustainability - Difference, community & temporal belonging - Temporality and circular economies - Nonhuman temporalities - Time, memory and urban change - Temporality and affect - Grassroots (or alternative) urban temporalities Paper abstracts should be submitted by e-mail to Linda ([email protected]) and Tatiana ([email protected]) by December 15, 2018. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words, in plain text, and saved in Word format. They should contain name of the session, title of the paper, author’s name, e-mail and institutional affiliation and abstract. Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by the session conveners by January 15, 2019. References Bastian, M. (2011).
