The general aim of this project is to produce interdisciplinary perspectives on fieldwork studies conducted in a variety of contexts in order to improve our understanding of uses of public space and the issues involved in those uses and practices. The project is driven by several questions: -How is what we call “public” space constructed/designed? -What do uses and non-uses of public space in differentiated urban and cultural contexts reveal about individual identities and power relations within a given society? -What institutional and informal actors intervene in and shape uses of and practices in public space?
Ce projet fonctionne sous forme d'atelier de
recherche.
L’objectif est de faire dialoguer des chercheurs
de différentes disciplines travaillant sur cette
question de l’espace public, avec des
thématiques, des approches et dans des contextes
extrêmement variés.
Ce projet a une dimension internationale
- données d'enquêtes quantitatives (PEE, Virage) - méthodes qualitatives : obsevations participantes, parcours commentés, entretiens, photos, films.
