Convocatoria de Propuestas – El papel de la fotografía y el cine en la documentación del legado de la arquitectura moderna y contemporánea y en los espacios públicos

En esta convocatoria para artículos y ensayos visuales de Sophia Journal Vol.10, No. 1, “Paisajes de Reparación: El papel de la fotografía y el cine en la documentación del legado de la arquitectura moderna y contemporánea en los espacios públicos”, invitamos a trabajos teóricos y de campo que utilicen prácticas fotográficas y visuales para explorar y documentar tanto la arquitectura moderna como contemporánea o la infraestructura de los espacios públicos. El objetivo de la convocatoria es comprender y documentar la arquitectura, la construcción, la ciudad y el territorio como organismos vivos e inclusivos, centrándose en experiencias positivas del pasado reciente y presente, que han dado forma a la calidad del espacio urbano, así mismo en los recursos patrimoniales para la sostenibilidad global.

La 9ª Conferencia Internacional de la Revista Sophia - Paisajes del Cuidado, se desarrollará centrada en las prácticas fotográficas y visuales contemporáneas que exploran cómo la arquitectura, en su sentido más amplio, puede contribuir a sanar un planeta en crisis. La vivienda pública a través de múltiples geografías: cruce de teorías y prácticas sobre la vivienda pública, centrado en una lectura dinámica de la ciudad condicionada y condicionante por la tipología de la vivienda. Combinando arquitectura, vivienda pública, hábitat y urbanismo, se presentan trabajos que exploran una narrativa interpretativa sobre la vivienda y quienes la habitan, proyectos piloto con comunidades de práctica capaces de generar visiones estratégicas sobre el posible futuro de la ciudad y el territorio, la vivienda y las vidas que (trans)forma, en esa relación ontológica entre el Hombre y la casa.

Sophia Journal is no longer accepting submissions for its 1st Manuscript concerning its third thematic cycle, “Landscapes of Care,” addressing research, projects, experiences, and contemporary photographic and visual practices that focus on how architecture, understood in a broad sense, can help to heal the relationships between man and habitat, as well as the socio-environmental crisis that the planet is experiencing.

LANDSCAPES OF CARE: THE EMERGENCE OF LANDSCAPES OF CARE IN UNSTABLE TERRITORIES
The current 7th Sophia International Conference, organised by CEAU / FAUP, is the direct result of the Call for Papers of the upcoming 7th issue of Sophia Journal and the first volume within a new cycle of the Sophia Journal dedicated to Landscapes of Care. After a selection of the best papers and visual essays submitted to our Call, the results will be presented during an Online Conference, on the 29th of September, organised in two panels, discussing landscapes of extraction, wastelands, desert landscapes as heritage, geological boundaries and political borders, arctic expeditions, among other stimulating issues central to discuss what we have proposed in our Call. The Online Conference also counts with three presentations by invited keynote speakers: Armin Linke, Marco Ferrari + Elisa Pasqual (Studio Folder), and Elsa Brès. Each presentation is followed by a generous time for discussion between all the participants to fulfil what has been one of the major objectives of these Conferences.

To celebrate the rich and diverse program of the current issue of this year's Sophia International Conference, the organization committee proposes a live screening of films during the afternoon of the 28th of September, followed by a round-table with Margarida Mendes (TBC), Jorge Leandro Rosa, and Pedro Bandeira.
