  Les politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives

  L'Université Libre de Bruxelles, le Comité économique et Social européen et le Centre International pour la Ville et l'Architecture organisent une journée de réflexion consacrée aux politiques culturelles dans les villes administratives. Cette journée vise a débattre des enjeux posés par une prise en considération d'espaces administratifs comme espaces culturels. La reconversion progressive de Bruxelles en "Capitale de l'Europe" interroge ce réchauffement de la froideur administrative et souligne l'intérêt du développement d'un travail comparatif avec d'autres villes spécialisées dans la fonction administrative ou d'autres espaces administratifs où s'insèrent des dispositifs culturels.

  Families, constructions of foreignness and migration in 20th century Western Europe

  Conference at Leuven University, Belgium, May 15-16 2008

  This conference aims to discuss and compare national boundaries, policies and experiences with regard to family and migration in twentieth century Western Europe. Three perspectives will receive particular attention at the conference. First, national boundaries and related policies of receiving as well as sending societies with regard to family and migration and their implications for migrants or their relatives who stayed behind; Second, the relationship between the family situations (of mothers, fathers, single women or men, children, elders and so on) and the stereotyping of migrants of 'foreign'. or rather their invisibility. Third, the perspective of migrants and their relatives themselves. How did they construct family and how did they deal with family policies and family cultures in receiving societies as well as in their societies of origin? How were family situations and transnationalism related?

  Analogous Spaces

  Architecture and the space of information, intellect and action

  The International Conference on Analogous Spaces interrogates the analogy between spaces in which knowledge is preserved, organized, transferred or activated. Although these spaces may differ in material, virtual, or operational ways, there are resemblances if one examines their ‘structure,’ ‘form’ and ‘architecture’. How do these spaces co-exist and interrelate? The conference will be organized around three main themes: 1. The first theme explores spatial analogies in terms of social and intellectual networks. 2. The second theme deals with the space of knowledge and memory. 3. The third theme explores the space required for speed, action and decision making.
