Organised by the
University of Cagliari in collaboration with the Cosmobilities Network
Venue: University of
Cagliari (Sardinia, Italy)
Dates: 5-7 July 2012.
Aim
This conference,
funded by the University of Cagliari and organized in collaboration with the
Cosmobilities Network, aims at discussing new directions in mobilities
research, showcasing the state of the art in the field, and providing a unique
opportunity to create lasting links among researchers, especially in the north
and the south of Europe.
The language of this
event will be English but the range of papers presented will be a reflection of
the diversity of concerns, approaches and methodologies informing mobilities
research in Europe and beyond.
Young and experienced
researchers are invited to submit abstracts for paper presentations. High
quality abstracts on any aspect of mobilities are welcomed although submissions
addressing the following themes are particularly encouraged:
histories of mobilities
cultures of mobilities
mobilities outside the north Atlantic rim
the spaces and politics of mobility (and immobility) in the
Mediterranean city
· forms of mobility other than car, train and aeroplane
research conducted in collaboration with artists and public and private
actors outside academia illustrating the way new knowledge collectives are formed around the use of new ICTs
transnational research involving different institutional settings
Location
Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, is the
perfect location for a Cosmobilities event. A crossroad between
cultures throughout the centuries - among which
Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantins, Aragons, Catalans- it offers one of the most beautiful and longest
beaches in the Mediterranean and a crystal-clear sea around, besides an
unspoiled natural environment consisting of lagoons, bird sanctuaries and
wildlife reserves, as well as museums and archaeological sites, which
altogether make it a unique scene in Europe.
