| Summary: | Main description: The rapid changes currently taking place in our urban, political and institutional environments have shifted spatial practice to centre stage both in civic life and academic research. Social networking, political projects, cross-border movements, artistic interventions, urban and environmental initiatives, self-organized educational practices - all articulate the challenges involved in organizing the spaces we share. In this volume, visual culture scholars from around the world discuss the »practical turn« in different fields of critical engagement, proposing fresh ways to assert an interpenetrated space of research and intervention Biographical note: Peter Mörtenböck (Prof. Dr. phil.) and Helge Mooshammer (Dr. techn.) teach Visual Culture at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and at the Vienna University of Technology. Their current research is concerned with new forms of urban sociality arising from processes of transnationalisation, transient and informal land use, and newly emerging regimes of governance |
