This conference is an invitation to rethink, research and discuss the urban (and the counter-urban) as performance and construction, and to do so from a variety of disciplinary approaches, theoretical perspectives and creative productions.

Papers are invited on topics under the following headings:

Performing the urban: enactments of the urban, rhythms, social patterns, identities, subjectivities, imaginaries.
Performance as an urban practice: urban spectacles, audiences; agents, choreographers of the urban; the urban space as stage. Urban drama, comedy, art.
Changing performances: resisting the urban; sustainable cities; eco-urbanity.
Embodied urban encounters: living urban contact; post/trans/human bodies; transcultural exchange. Intersections, cross-overs.
Bodily performances: art, politics, leisure; street-dwelling.
Urban inventories: structural, architectural, archival, museums.
Urban rhythms and historical rhythms: changes in the perception and enactment of cities. Post/colonial shifts (wars, fears, occupation, liberation).
Emotional performances of the urban.
Writing the city: urban literature, the global city as post/colonial text.
