Unquestionably recognized as one of the\nforefathers of Western Sociology, Weber\u2019s scholarship is notable for its\nbreadth and its ability to connect the spheres of economics, politics, and\nculture in the study of Western and non-Western societies. Alongside his many\nindirect contributions to the field of Urban Sociology, Weber also focused\ndirectly on urban spaces, particularly in <em>The City<\/em>, a posthumously\nedited volume (1921) later incorporated in his <em>Economy and Society<\/em>,\nwhere he tried to lay the foundations for a systematic theory of urbanism and\nurban development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this conference, we\ntake the centennial anniversary of Weber\u2019s death, and the 99 years since the\npublication of <em>The City<\/em>, as an opportunity to reflect about the past,\npresent, and future of cities, urban theories and urban practices, <em>through\nand beyond<\/em> the works of Weber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last century has provided\nus with a wealth of theoretical perspectives on the city and its development,\nfrom ecological theory <em>\u00e0 la<\/em> Chicago\nSchool, to neo-Marxist and political economic approaches, to the more recent\nadvent of poststructural, postmodern, and postcolonial urban studies. Different\nmethods of analysis have accompanied these changes, from urban (ecological)\nmodelling, to the use of quantitative, qualitative (especially ethnographic), and\ncase-based (oftentimes comparative) approaches. And cities and urban\nlivelihoods have themselves changed considerably in recent decades, in interaction\nwith macro-level processes such as international migration and the\ncommodification and globalization of cultural artifacts and economic\nactivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage\ncontributions looking at urban changes, as well as focusing on recent and\ncontemporary processes of urban development broadly conceived, in all cases\nwith a vision towards social action and the creation of better cities and urban\nexperiences for the future. In other words, in this conference, we are\ninterested in uncovering: 1. What are the past, present and future developments\nof urban research (urban theory)? And, 2. How have cities, both in and through\nthe multiple actors living and working in\/on them, themselves develop(ed) in\nthe past, present and future (urban praxis)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CALL FOR PRESENTATION PROPOSALS (2nd STAGE) Urban Theory and Urban Praxis: Past, Present and Possible Futures IV Midterm Conference Bologna, Italy, 2-4 September 2020 European Sociological Association (ESA) &#8211; Research Network 37: Urban Sociology University of Bologna \u2013 Department of Sociology and Business Law Description: The year 2020 commemorates the 100th anniversary of the death<a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/?p=4298\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Call for abstracts ESA RN37 Conference &#8220;Urban Theory and Urban Praxis: Past, Present and Possible Futures&#8221; (Bologna, 2-4 settembre 2020)&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7,60],"tags":[242,408,418,414,410],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4298"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4298"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4300,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4298\/revisions\/4300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sociologiadelterritorio.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
