CfP | SI Bureaucratic reinventions: The more-than-market arrangements of public action

[Tomás Sánchez Criado]

Dear all,

Our apologies for x-posting.

With the special issue on Bureaucratic Reinventions, we aim to bring together work that foregrounds creative reinventions of bureaucratic practice in urban and local government, and work that reflects academics' engagement with these processes, opening up to unprecedented ethnographic relations in places that previously had high levels of supervision and control. Both movements reflect current modes of urban governance that are tinkering with more-than-market arrangements to renew public action, and which we believe deserve our attention.

A more detailed call for papers can be found in the appendix or here: https://xcol.org/xposition/bureaucraticreinventions/  

Please submit an abstract of no more than 400 words (excluding references) and a biography (up to 250 words) to both of us (tomc...@uoc.edu & julio....@arch.ethz.ch) by July 5, 2024.
