Places of Struggle, Struggle for Places: On the Reconfiguration of Political Commitment in a World of Despair
Building on existing reflections and proposals, this conference aims to interrogate the ongoing re-configurations of political struggle and the evolving roles of its actors, with particular attention to places and territories. At its core, this gathering seeks to foster dialogue—between researchers, artists, and activists—where analytical inquiry meets creative expression. We envision a space that not only explores the dynamics of contemporary struggles but also values the imaginative and artis-tic dimensions of political engagement. One of the conference’s central objectives is explicitly nor-mative: how can different forms of knowledge—academic, situated, embodied—inform meaningful and actionable pathways for political transformation?
