Fwd: History of Urban House Numbering for the journal Urban History
Micah
the journal Urban History
Street
addressing
is
one
of
the
most
basic
strategies
employed
by
governmental
authorities
to
tax,
police,
manage,
and
monitor
the
spatial
whereabouts
of
individuals
within
a
population.
Despite
the
central
importance
of
the
street
address
as
a
political
technology
that
sometimes
met
with
resistance,
few
scholars
have
examined
the
historical
practice
of
street
addressing
with
respect
to
its
broader
social
and
political
implications.
We
would
like
to
invite
those
scholars
with
an
interest
in
this
subject
to
contribute
to
a
peer‐reviewed
special
section
of
the
journal
Urban
History
that
we
are
organising
on
the
histories
and
geographies
of
urban
house
numbering.
Articles
should
be
no
more
than
8,000
words
in
length,
with
a
preliminary
submission
deadline
of
December
15,
2010.
Each
paper
submission
will
go
through
the
journal's
regular
peer
review
process;
however,
it
will
first
be
submitted
to
the
special
section
organisers
(Reuben
Rose‐Redwood
and
Anton
Tantner)
for
an
initial
screening
prior
to
peer
review.
We
are
particularly
interested
in
show casing
recent
work
that
links
the
history
of
urban
house
numbering
to
broader
debates
concerning
the
interrelations
of
space,
knowledge,
and
power
that
have
animated
contemporary
discussions
in
the
social
sciences
and
humanities.
If
you
are
interested
in
contributing
to
this
special
section,
please
contact
the
special
section
organisers
at
your
earliest
convenience
and
provide
a
very
brief
description
of
the
proposed
paper
topic
to
be
submitted.
We
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you.
Sincerely,
