    POSTGROWTH AND DEGROWTH IN PLANNING PRACTICE

    Edited by Barbara Pizzo and Jin Xue

    DEADLINE June 7, 2026. 

    Modern planning is deeply rooted in pro-growth development model. Spatial planning is addressed to city growth, whatever definition of growth might be implied (i.e., expansion, densification, valorisation, both in physical and economic terms). There is a centuries-old history of urban planning irrefutably demonstrating that. Nonetheless, postgrowth and degrowth as key concept and as perspectives to look at the future of cities and regions is evidently spreading. In recent years, research groups and networks, conferences and seminars, books and journal publications have multiplied. Although postgrowth and degrowth scholars have succeeded in bringing the dominant growth model into question and seriously discussing alternatives, they have started worrying about that what should be a crucial and compelling paradigmatic turn in planning approaches may instead become just another (ab)used buzzword.

    The aim of this call is to identify, clarify, and discuss if, how and by whom postgrowth and degrowth thinking is being translated into actual urban and regional practices, with particular attention to the fundamental objects and fields of action within urban and regional planning. This inquiry will also challenge and critically examine some of the claimed more ‘advanced’ ideas in planning for long-term sustainability such as no net land take, circular economy and sharing, the green shift, digitalization, and related initiatives.

    More specifically, we invite contributions addressing the following topics: Land and soil, Water, Energy, Nature and Biodiversity, Mobility, Housing, Production and Labour. 

    We welcome contributions that:

    • place one or more of these issues at the core of their inquiry while considering the interconnections with the others,
    • draw on real cases and examples from urban and regional development and planning,
    • reflect on and propose actionable suggestions for planning practices that can inform and inspire degrowth and postgrowth-oriented approaches.

  • Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography

     

     

    ISSN 1123-7023 (online)

    CROMOHS is a peer-reviewed, open-access electronic history journal published in English, and over the last three decades has established a solid reputation for scholarly rigour. With a marked international outlook, it aims to encourage methodological debate arising from original and creative dialogue between scholarly traditions, and to promote innovative approaches to archival research. CROMOHS acts as a focal point and forum for challenging and fresh scholarship on fourteenth- to nineteenth-century intellectual, social and cultural history in a global perspective. It seeks to move beyond a strictly regional and Eurocentric approach, with a preferential view towards histories of transcultural contacts and connections. Articles relating to Muslim societies (fourteenth-nineteenth centuries) are most welcome. More generally, CROMOHS strongly encourages contributions engaging with extra-European cultures and societies. CROMOHS invites theoretically informed work from a range of historical, cultural and social domains that interrogate cross-cultural and connected histories, intersecting the history of knowledge, emotions, religious beliefs, ethnography, cartography, the environment, material culture and the arts.

    Call for Papers "Diciottesimo Secolo" nr. 11, 2026

    Money in the eighteenth century

    Edited by Giovanni Iamartino and Conrad Brunstrom

    James Gillray, John Bull ground down, London, 1795 (Courtesy of the Lewis Walpole Library, Yale University)

    This special journal issue will consider competing understandings of money in the eighteenth-century. What was money? What made money real? What was the relationship between money and national identity?  The eighteenth-century debated these topics using all available media. The great stock market crashes that shocked Paris and London in the 1720s created new forms of uncertainty regarding the very nature of commercial exchange and the remainder of the eighteenth century was marked by endless debates regarding laws of supply and demand.  This special issue invites paper submissions not only on economic history but also on more poetic and emotionally charged descriptions of money and the hopes and fears that money provokes. Any paper that addresses exchange value in the long eighteenth century will be considered.
     

    The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2026.

    «Diciottesimo Secolo» is the official international open access journal of the Società Italiana di Studi sul Secolo XVIII (SISSD). It is committed to hosting critical debates covering a full range of eighteenth century subjects: from literature to history, from law to religion, from philosophy to science, from anthropology to the fine arts, from linguistics to ethics, from theatre to music. It is also intended as an instrument for providing updated information about current Italian research in eighteenth-century studies. Published annually and double blind peer reviewed, the journal is divided into three sections: “Essays”, “Critical Notes” and “Reviews”.

    Diplomacy and the Circulation of Political Information in Early Modern Europe

    Edited by Brendan Dooley and Stefano Villani

    Diplomatic documents – letters, dispatches, and final ambassadorial reports – have long been among the richest sources for studying political culture and communication in early modern Europe. Produced at the intersection between information, negotiation, and representation, these texts illuminate both the mechanisms of statecraft and the wider processes through which knowledge about events, persons, and policies was produced, transmitted, and received across linguistic, confessional, and political frontiers. From the late fifteenth to the eighteenth century, diplomatic networks became crucial conduits for the exchange of political intelligence and news, linking courts and chancelleries to transnational communities of readers and informants.....  Read More  PDF

    Technology Mediation in Contemporary Opera: Preservation, Innovation, and Sustainable Practices

    The Venice Conservatoire of Music “B. Marcello” (IT) and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (UK) are pleased to announce a call for the conference “Technology Mediation in Contemporary Opera: Preservation, Innovation, and Sustainable Practices". This conference aims to bring together artists, researchers, and musicians from around the world who are interested in exploring the creative role of technology in opera and music theatre and the challenges that technology poses for the preservation and sustainability of the repertoire.

    Deadline: November 17, 2025

    For further information please visit the Call for Paper webpage

    The advent of electricity and its instrumental applications has given new impetus to the relationship between music and technology. The constant and progressive spread of electronics and digital tools has increasingly influenced the executive and creative areas of music, aligning the technological dimension always present in its evolutionary path to the demands of contemporaneity. Hybridizations between different genres have been developed. Expressive languages and horizons of scientific and technological research, unthinkable only a few decades earlier, have opened up.
    Music/Technology attempts to explore this dimension, in the awareness that the relations between the musical world and the technological one are not linear but rather characterized by chronological and environmental mismatches. With the aim of making explicit - as we had already underlined in our first issue - the awareness that shows «how new categories of musical thought could be created thanks to the invention of devices and instruments whose impact on our ways of learning and conceiving sound phenomenon was decisive» (Hugues Dufourt). The ratio line present in the title of the magazine therefore seeks to express precisely this, in all the values that one wishes to assign to that line. Ultimately, the urgency is to understand the creative, productive and realization mechanisms in which music fits thanks to its electrical and digital developments, while undertaking a reflection that allows us not to be overwhelmed by them.

    Sculpture and Architecture (14th-17th Century)

    Edited by Cammy Brothers and Alessandro Brodini

    From Alberti, Filarete and Leonardo da Vinci in the fifteenth century to Vasari and Varchi in the sixteenth, the relation between painting, sculpture and architecture has often been seen through the lens of the paragone, comparatively extolling the virtues of each. However, recent scholarship has begun to acknowledge that the relationship between these endeavors was not only competitive, but also collaborative and overlapping. While some attention has already been directed at the link between painting and architecture, this issueof “Opus Incertum” instead focuses on the multiple strands of connection between architecture and sculpture. Several recent exhibitions, on Bertoldo di Giovanni (Frick Collection, 2019); on Verrocchio (National Gallery of Art, Washington, Palazzo Strozzi and the Bargello, 2019); and on Donatello (Palazzo Strozzi and Victoria and Albert Museum, 2022) also demonstrated the ways in which prominent sculptors contributed to architectural ideas, and the shared ornamental vocabulary between the arts. Beyond these suggestions, the volume hopes to include a broad geographical panorama from across Europe, and a chronological range from the late middle ages through the seventeenth century.

    PRECARIOUS DWELLING. Everyday practices, caring relations, and meaning-making processes

    Homelessness represents one of the most complex expressions of social vulnerability, extending well beyond the mere absence of shelter. It is a multidimensional condition involving economic, psychological, legal, and relational factors. In this regard, the European Federation of National Organisations Working with the Homeless (FEANTSA) has proposed a comprehensive definition of homelessness, highlighting three essential dimensions of housing: physical, social, and legal. As Edgar (2009) notes, having a home implies three conditions: firstly, the access to adequate accommodation; secondly, the ability to maintain social ties within a private space; and finally, the possession of legal tenure that ensures stability and protection…

    The European Union, a teacher of peace, can develop this vision globally!

    In our time (2020 and beyond), war has once again emerged as the preferred method for resolving conflicts between peoples, cultures, hegemonies... while a united Europe has forcefully reaffirmed its vocation to peace.
    Europe is now becoming both the model and the goal of international politics and culture, capable of resolving conflicts through diplomacy and eliminating all armed means. Therefore, it is precisely from here that a Global Appeal for Peace and the Means to Achieve It must arise.

  • Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies

    Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies aims to promote and contribute to the interdisciplinary debate on themes and research issues pertaining to every aspect of Irish culture, in order to create a place for an international debate and high quality research on Irish literary studies, history, cultural perspectives and linguistic inquiry, from the Romantic Era to the present age. The aim of the publication is, therefore, to stimulate discussion on problematic aspects of Irish culture: history, politics, social environment, as well as literature and art. The journal will publish previously unpublished works, both in the original language and Italian translation, as well as interviews, reviews, reports and bibliographies of interest for Irish culture scholars. The journal will also publish research in progress focussing on recent developments rather than consolidated theories and hypotheses and openings rather than conclusions, and will encourage young scholars to publish the results of their - completed or partial - research, and take part in the international debate, both in traditional formats and digital media.
