>
> With the various advances of new urban sociologies, the inadequacies of
> already existing models to track the production of the urban space have
> been felt all across the globe. This approach of redefining or
> demystifying the urban space as a social category comes from the inherent
> inadequacies of already existing economic, political, sociological and
> semiotic models. More empirical work is required to understand the
> production of the urban space and other forms of spatial negotiations
> associated with it. We have to remember that this urban space is also the
> settlement space/zone. It is an important territory of emerging social
> movements, community relations/liaisons.
>
> The Urban cannot be studied as a single discreet metropolitan development
> in a particular national setting. We have to look at it from a larger
> global setting in order to identify the ideologies of Colonialism to late
> Liberalism behind the social production of this urban space. Thus the
> study of this urban space has to be multidisciplinary. We need a
> comparative methodology to understand the complexity of the space. It is
> important to remember that the urban is continuously being defined in
> relation to what is not urban.
>
> Over a few decades, Canada and India, as geo-political identities
> experienced the growth and development of urban spaces and the discontent
> associated with it. Be it Ontario or Gujarat, the Aboriginal people in
> both the countries have raised their voice against illegal, illicit
> development projects and land acquisitions. Both Canada and India has
> experienced record migration to these urban spaces on an international and
> national level. The complex issues of labour mobilization and manhandling
> of human resource is closely associated with urbanization. Various groups
> (indigenous, immigrants, migrants, ethnic minorities, sexual minorities,
> religious minorities,) in both the countries have performed their
> discontent to reclaim their identities which have been thwarted in these
> promised lands. If we consider these urban spaces as negotiations of
> neocolonial paradigms, then one cannot ignore the various forms of
> performing discontent from several communities in these emerging
> territories.
>
> The conference will try to map these performing discontents as pedagogic
> shifts, to be more specific, paradigmatic shifts in the global context.
> The idea is to relocate pedagogy outside the imperial framework of
> pedagogic models. In the Global context, the situation of the Aboriginal
> People in Canada and India (how it was and how it is perceived today
> within the academia and other social institutions ) can serve as an
> example in both Canada and India to substantiate the claim of spatial
> negotiation in the context of increasing visibility of various minority
> groups in the urban space. Immigration and International Labour
> mobilization/politics can be cited as another example in this context.
> Papers are invited in all areas relating to the general theme of the
> conference. We have identified certain areas and some of them are listed
> below:
>
> Urban Sociology :Metropolis, Cities, Towns and Ruralis, Architecture The
> Urban Space and Indigenous Alterities
