VISUAL ESSAY DAVID KENDALL ................................................................................................................................................. 289 7 Preamble The night has been the subject of multiple readings by the social and human sciences, as well as it has inspired multiple narratives throughout history, literature and popular culture. However, the study of nightlife, practices, and actors only gained attention in recent years. The appearance of “mayors of the night” with the intention of improving urban governance during this period and thus guaranteeing needs, rights and services is the result of a progressive change in the local political paradigm, which begins to face this space-time as a “new” opportunity for its economic, social and cultural development. We could say that the night and the activities that take place in it begin to be projected as forms of tourist attraction, whether for their leisure activities such as discos, parties or other forms of fun; or because of its cultural potential, such as the White Nights. Contemporary urban night implies having active professionals, capable of reacting to any incident, such as the case of health professionals, but also maintaining those professions – often illegal – that tend to be considered problematic or hidden as could be prostitution. Surveillance and control during this period is also a good example of active professions, such as the case of the police, surveillance companies, video-doorman, or firefighters. It has never been so easy to commute in the urban space, public transport normally meets the needs of users, and the emergence of new forms of transport resulting from the circular economy, both of people and goods, completes the demand, not without controversy. There are many different ways to approach the night, but here we collect some of the communications that participated during the I International Conference on Night Studies, that took place on-line, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on July 2nd -4th, 2020. These communications are also on-line on the official account of the conference. 8 9 ‘THE NIGHTS WILL BE ALWAYS OURS’: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PROCEEDINGS BOOK OF THE 1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NIGHT STUDIES Jordi Nofre and Manuel Garcia-Ruiz Everybody's talking at me I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping, staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes («Everybody's Talkin’», Fred Neil, 1966). This singer-songwriter Fred Neil’s words could depict what many of us, night scholars, felt some few years ago. We knew they were some colleagues in other places of the world that were researching on night-related topics, but very few of us had had the opportunity to meet all together in ‘our own house’: A transdisciplinary conference on night studies. For that very reason,
