The Street and The City - Encounters

Date: 11 -12 April 2019

Convener: University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies Venue: School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon

The Street and the City – Encounters is the third in a series of multidisciplinary conferences devoted to the study of cities and the ways of living that have evolved in them over time. Although English Studies play a central role in this conference series, both from cultural and geographical points of view, all contributions related to the topic will be considered, in line with the previous conferences: The Street and the City – Awakenings and The Street and The City – Thresholds generated strong interest among researchers from a wide range of disciplines, such as literature and cinema, tourism, architecture and sociology. This third conference aims to continue to explore the theme of the street and the city in all its plurality, taking into account its different dynamics.

Throughout the ages, cities have been discursive spaces in which cultural experiences and dialogues unfold, uniting diverse people in their public spaces. Their arteries, the streets, the squares where they converge, embrace both individuals and groups that experience the current mobility, whether they are there, for instance, through touristic impulses of exploration or novelty, or because their occupation or business lead them there, or to help others who are trapped or threatened by the perils and privations of the city. Between idle wanderings and diaspora, as the ultimate lottery of reigning antagonisms, the city receives and reinvents itself with its citizens, both permanent and temporary. Vortices of multicultural encounters and confrontations, cities are equally physical structures, the fruits of evolving projects and technologies or even art objects.

Hence, the dynamics and the challenges of urban areas continue to generate questions among researchers regarding, for instance, aspects of identity representation, aesthetical and political expressions, as well as how the city is created, interpreted and appreciated. Therefore, studies on such complex urban dynamics have become extremely diverse, fostering a range of perspectives regarding the spaces in which we move and with which we identify.

This conference keeps its primary goal of fostering the interdisciplinary debate within the field of English Studies, acting as a productive space for disseminating the most recent academic research concerning Cultural Studies, Urban Studies and Tourism, as well as other fields of interest related to cities, their spaces and cultures. In addition to encouraging dialogue between different scientific perspectives, the Organising Committee wishes to promote informal networking gatherings among its participants.

A Rua e a Cidade – Encontros é a terceira de uma série de conferências multidisciplinares, dedicada ao estudo das cidades e dos modos de vida que nelas se foram desenvolvendo ao longo dos tempos. Embora os Estudos Ingleses desempenhem um papel central nesta série de conferências, tanto do ponto de vista cultural como do geográfico, à semelhança do critério adoptado nas anteriores conferências, A Rua e a Cidade – Despertares e A Rua e a Cidade - Limiares, que suscitaram o interesse de investigadores de uma vasta gama de disciplinas, como, por exemplo, literatura e cinema, turismo, arquitectura e sociologia, todos os contributos relacionados com o tema serão contemplados. Pretende-se, assim, continuar a explorar a temática da rua e da cidade na sua pluralidade, tendo em conta as suas dinâmicas. As cidades, ao longo dos tempos, têm sido palco de experiências e diálogos culturais, congregando gentes diversas no seu espaço público. As suas artérias, as ruas, as praças onde estas afluem, acolhem indivíduos e grupos que vivem a actual mobilidade, seja pelo ímpeto turístico de, por breves dias, visitarem uma urbe que ainda desconhecem, seja porque a profissão, ou o negócio, até aí os conduz, seja pela esperança de melhorar ou salvar a vida que vêem ameaçada. Entre a deambulação aprazível e a diáspora, fruto da derradeira lotaria dos antagonismos reinantes, a cidade recebe e renova-se com os seus cidadãos, perenes e passageiros.

Vortex de encontros e confrontos multiculturais, as cidades são igualmente estruturas físicas, fruto de projectos e tecnologias em evolução, ou, ainda, objectos de arte. Daí, as dinâmicas e os desafios do meio urbano continuarem a suscitar questões aos investigadores, no que se refere, por exemplo, aos aspectos da representação identitária, às manifestações estéticas e políticas, enfim, como a urbe é criada, interpretada e fruída. Assim, os estudos sobre dinâmicas tão complexas tornaram-se extremamente diversificados, promovendo um leque de perspectivas do espaço com que nos identificamos. Este encontro científico continua a privilegiar o debate interdisciplinar no seio dos Estudos Ingleses, actuando como um espaço produtivo de divulgação da investigação académica mais recente, tanto no que respeita aos Estudos Culturais, aos Estudos Urbanos e de Turismo, como a outras áreas de interesse em relação às cidades, aos seus espaços e às suas culturas. Além de incentivar o diálogo entre diferentes perspectivas científicas, a Comissão Organizadora deseja promover encontros informais entre os participantes.

This analysis focuses on the meaning and structural peculiarities of the murals in the capital of Ukraine, which have been appearing across Kyiv since 2014 and have already become a sustainable part of the city branding. The following questions are highlighted: How could the social and cultural clues included in the Kyiv murals be decoded? What is the influence of cultural stereotyping murals, participation, identity, and historical "myths" vs. the creation of new cultural memory, symbols "mythology"? What is the role of cultural identity symbols, gender and intertextuality in typical structural elements? How do the murals reflect the public discussion on memory politics in contemporary Ukraine from the postcolonial perspective? How do these artifacts of cultural participation influence the urban space and the mass media discourse in Ukraine?

Toponímia – O Encontro dos Turistas com a Miguel Salgado Duarte Cultura nas Ruas da Cidade

Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Composta por inúmeras ruas, podendo estas ser vistas Lisboa como “meios de deslocação, locais de encontro ou (…) [email protected] de passeio, locais de visibilidade e exibição” (Tonkiss, 2005, p. 69), a cidade caracteriza-se pela cultura e pela Mestre em Turismo e Comunicação pela história presentes em diversos locais. Ao olharmos ao Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de nosso redor, observamos diversos aspectos Lisboa característicos da região, que moldam e formam a identidade desse mesmo local. É através desses símbolos culturais que criamos a nossa identidade cultural, promovendo-a a todos aqueles que nos visitam. Ocasionalmente, alguns símbolos ganham um determinado significado pelo facto de terem captado o

interesse dos que os observam, motivados pelo facto de, tal como Perez (2009) refere, “[a] nova procura converte[r] qualquer espaço num potencial espaço turístico” (p. 127). Neste contexto, a toponímia surge como um exemplo de um símbolo cultural que pode ganhar uma nova importância, para além do seu carácter organizacional e, principalmente, pela sua importância na evocação e na homenagem a personalidades e/ou acontecimentos passados que marcaram a história local/nacional. Paralelamente à construção e ao reforço da identidade local, alicerçada na memorização da história relembrada nos topónimos, a toponímia pode servir também como uma forma de partilhar a nossa Toponímia, cultura, turismo, cidade, cultura aos visitantes da cidade, aos turistas com rua vontade de conhecer a nossa história. Promover-se-ia, então, o contacto e o encontro dos turistas com a nossa cultura e, ao mesmo tempo, com as nossas ruas, pelo facto de este património cultural estar presente em todos estes locais de passagem e conhecimento. A fácil acessibilidade a estes símbolos culturais, tanto pela multiplicação de locais em que estão inseridos, como pela sua proximidade ‘física’ às pessoas, reforça a necessidade premente de se aproveitar o potencial turístico da toponímia. Para além de se diversificar uma actividade cada vez mais visível no nosso país, nomeadamente na cidade de Lisboa, contribuir-se-ia para o reforço da própria identidade local e nacional, através da partilha aos turistas, tanto nacionais como estrangeiros, da cultura portuguesa presente nas ruas da cidade.

Partindo de um estudo quantitativo que decorreu entre os meses de janeiro e julho de 2018, pretende-se agora apresentar os seus resultados e ajudar a compreender as causas de sucesso de uma atividade relacionada com os transportes, mas que soube nascer em Lisboa com um propósito de entreter e criar uma experiência única para os envolvidos: animador e turista.

The theoretical lens through which the case will be analysed is that of ‘institutional work’, this concept denotes actors’ attempts to create, maintain, or disrupt the functioning of institutions. In this case, the Vereeniging Vrijwillige Brandweer re-created voluntary institutionalizations of dealing with fire, and it simultaneously disrupted part of the professionalized Nineteenth century, urban studies, practice of firefighting by providing an alternative form of Utrecht, fire fighters, institutional organisation. While the largest part of this paper is work devoted to the case of the Vereeniging Vrijwillige Brandweer, other potential applications of the concept ‘institutional work’ in the field of Urban Studies will also be discussed. Doing so can enhance our knowledge of relations between the ‘street’ and the ‘city’, and the resilience of urban safety institutions in the light of rising nationalism and bureaucratisation.

live the place they are called to engage with. I define this living condition of embodied experience of space as sensoma. This paper will attempt to contextualise sensoma in relation to mnemonics and the ontology of chronotope. I will link sensoma with Paul Virilio’s concept of topographical amnesia and Walter Benjamin’s space of distraction. Furthermore, I will attempt to theorise spatial practice and sensoma via philosophical and scientific approaches that span from Descartes to Deleuze and Guattari, with a particular experience, space, sense, art, time focus on notions of time, space and experience in art and architecture. The paper will conclude with a suggestion of neologisms that establish an agenda for spatial practice related to sensing the common in public spaces of the city, promoting thus sensoma as a condition of living the city by encounter and emergence.

Therefore, the paper analyses Planning, Faculty of Technical Sciences in different spatial factors that are determining visibility and Novi Sad. permeability relations within the open space of selected pedestrian street. The study is based on the analysis of the multi-layered visibility relations of Dunavska Street and its correlation to the pedestrian movement through visibility graph analysis (VGA). Space syntax is used as a methodology in order to interpret the link between spatial features of built environment and pedestrian movement.

The analysis of visual integration is explored at the eye level without the visual obstacles and at the ground level with the physical obstacles that impede movement of pedestrians. The aim of the paper is to comprehend how spatial relations within some public space can positively affect or restrain permeability and visibility of pedestrians, and how such relation can be used in creation of 'pedestrian friendly' public spaces that empowers people to move around with greater ease and with more alternative choices of routes. Exploration of constraints and potentials of Dunavska Street through critical valorisation can be Dunavska Street, public space, used in new conceptualization of this urban fragment, mobility, pedestrian, Novi Sad particularly having in mind representation of Novi Sad as the European Youth Capital (2019) and the first European Capital of Culture (2021) from non-EU country.

unorganised attempt to pursue her studies in Paris. The novel captures the absurdities and the uncanniness of the migrant newcomer’s encounter with the postcolonial metropolis and her struggle to make the city her home. Juillet au pays, on the other hand, is a return travelogue in which the narrator travels back to her native Antananarivo after several years of absence and life in Paris. While the destination is not unfamiliar to the narrator because of her personal history with it, the city seems to reject the returnee’s claims of belonging and African literature, mobility, positions her as a tourist/outsider instead. Applying a postcolonial, urban space mobility studies perspective (see e.g. Cresswell 2006; Sheller & Urry 2006), my reading pays attention to the way in which Rakotoson’s protagonist/narrator resort to mobility practices in their uneasy attempts to make Paris and Antananarivo their cities, and how their subjectivities as a migrant newcomer and a returnee are constructed through urban mobility.

In Robert Tally’ Jr.’s words, “Geocriticism or spatial critical theory … include[s] both aesthetics and politics, as elements in a constellation of interdisciplinary methods designed to gain a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the ever- changing spatial relations that determine our current, postmodern world” (Tally 2013: 113).

It will also be analyzed places within the city where the local population meets and gains its identity. Italy, city, tourism, encounter, urban Bologna, despite having contained this idea of mass tourism, is a city of resistance. The present multiculturalism, the Plaza Mayor, a place of social and political confrontation, the university, the arcades, and the intense urban design that punctuates the whole city, appeal to the appropriation and the encounter. This paper aims to highlight the invisible mechanisms that are in the design of cities and what that can be explored to restore social and cultural encounters.

He is interested in modernity itself has been left behind, nowadays the big nostalgia, communism, post-communism, European cities that fascinated the flâneur are first of all migrants, Central and Eastern European represented by historical conservation rather than literature. innovation. The city does not emanate the same innovative energy, as it replaced it with its obsession for museification. In this context, the flâneur has either disappeared or it has been substituted by the tourist. In this paper, I will put under scrutiny the relation between the city as an entity whose main meaning is to remain unaltered and the tourist who, led by a form of domesticated nostalgia, is attracted by the city due to its intact historical feature. Having as starting points Benjamin’s definition of the flâneur and Andreas Huyssen’s perspective on museification, I shall analyze the ambiguous relationship between the city and the tourist. The tourist can instil life into the city but at the same time he or she can be a toxic presence. This city, flâneur, tourist, museification, implies that the tourist can have a genuine relation with toxic presence. the city but it can also reduce it to nothing but a list of touristic objectives which are captured in numerous cliché photos. In the end, I shall argue that in order for the tourist to have a more genuine relationship with the city, he or she needs to learn how to be more like the flâneur, with his sensitivity and his ability to be in the city without overwhelming it.

These are segments of life, disruptions, interruptions and repetitions. This is a cinema of the body, a cinema of attitudes and postures.

The adolescents who move through the city are existential nomads, who are defined by movement and difference, by the very force of life, constantly becoming.

New Wave cinema protagonists of the 60s hover around the city half-aimlessly, exploring their own youth, changing cityscape and contingency but also existential fear and loneliness. In his book on cinema Gilles Deleuze coined a term bal(l)ade, meaning in French both a ballad and a stroll, combined together in a form of a lyrical flaneurish wandering through the streets of modern city. But Deleuze in his book focuses solely on the western European and American cinema, only scarcely supplemented by other examples. In my presentation I would like to highlight one of his greatest Cinema, modernismo, New Wave, omissions – cinema of the socialist countries. socialist cinema By juxtaposing western and eastern European modernist ba(l)lades from the 60s, I’ll seek to identify most important functions of city landscape in modern cinema. Urban setting

serves, among others, as a psychological metaphor, social indicator or political background. It is interesting to see many similarities but also notable differences between western modern city-films (by Jean-Luc Godard, Agnes Varda, Wim Wenders or Michelangelo Antonioni) and those made behind the iron curtain. Film produced in GDR (Divided Heaven), Poland (God Bye Till Tomorrow, Identification Marks: None), Hungary (Cantata) or USSR (Walking the Streets of Moscow, Once Upon a Time There Was a Singing Bird) express both drive toward modernity and youth culture similar to the West but also some reservations and local problems – political, social, historical.

Can we distinguish different art forms under the label of street art? If yes, which elements seem decisive to create these categories and how they reinvent the city and art itself as real/imaginary spaces? How is the strong multicultural diversity of Houston represented in this process? Several street art murals will be used to address and illustrate these complex urban dynamics while articulating identity and representation issues, as well as aesthetical, social, and political expressions.

Sara Crouch Noli me tangere: Representations of Street Walking The University of Sydney and Skin-to-Skin Contact in Two 18th Cent. Fictive Memoirs [email protected]

Sara Crouch is a recent PhD graduate from This paper considers the social function of disease as the University of Sydney. Her thesis is titled moderator of class relationships in England during the first 'Surface Tensions: Representations of Skin in half of the eighteenth century and takes into account the the Long Eighteenth Century' and ways in which the ‘communicability’ of plagues and poxes concentrates on the intersection between was expended by authors in order to crystallize social novel studies and history of medicine, with a particular focus on skin. interaction and tension along class lines. Matthew Beaumont’s study (Nightwalking, 2015) of nocturnal activity reveals that after the Great Fire of London (1666), large

scale restructures of the city, particularly the improvement of urban thoroughfares and the advent of street lighting, made nocturnal activity possible. He also points out that these civic improvements captivated the imagination of cartographers, whose maps capture the burgeoning complex networks streets that comprised eighteenth-century London. This paper suggests that eighteenth-century novelists were equally moved by the new and complex networks of streets and, as such, representations of streetscapes and urban walking proliferated in novels, especially during the first half skin, contagion, touch, street of the century. This paper supports this argument with close walking readings of early experimental memoir-novels namely, Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year (1722) and John Cleland’s The Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (Fanny Hill) (1748). In both texts, the streets are seen as the city’s arteries and streetwalkers, sailors, ramblers, and beggars are imaginatively transfigured into pathogens that threaten the national body.

Whereas Bedlam welcomes visitors who occasionally bring in their female companions, Bridewell turns punishment into a spectacle as correction is transformed into entertainment with sadistic overtones. Both institutions welcome visitors for a fee, which makes a contribution to the expenses. Prostitutes are among the regular visitors to Bedlam, whether unaccompanied or with their clients, turning the hospital into “a Showing Room for Whores”.

14.30h-16h Entre Passeios: Fotografia, Publicidade e Room B2 Grafiti na Experiência da Cidade No quadro da Passeio, plataforma de arte e cultura urbana do Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade, reunimos três abordagens que, a partir de três diferentes contextos geográficos - Braga, Lisboa e Ponta Delgada -, colecionam fragmentos visuais da cidade e pedaços narrativos da sua vivência, dedicando-se especificamente a pensar a inscrição da fotografia, da publicidade e do graffiti no espaço urbano. A Passeio é uma plataforma de arte e cultura urbana constituída no âmbito da Painel estratégia de intervenção do Centro de Estudos de Comunicação e Sociedade da Universidade do Minho (www.passeio.pt). Neste projeto, que combina a inspiração etnográfica com a perspetiva histórica e a análise crítica, repensamos as ações quotidianas que acontecem nas ruas das cidades através da memória partilhada dos seus transeuntes: as recordações de estabelecimentos comerciais e lojas, os testemunhos de minorias étnicas e culturais que habitam a cidade, as histórias de vida de artistas e comerciantes de rua.
