Call for Papers for "Shifting Values – Processes, Strategies and Conflicts in the Built Environment"

For the fifth Interdisciplinary Colloquium from 25 to 27 September 2019 in Cottbus the Research Training Group asks for abstracts in German or English for presentations (max. 20 minutes long).

The research interest of the conference regarding PHENOMENA, PROCESSES, STRATEGIES, and CONFLICTS in value shift in the built environment are outlined by the following cross-disciplinary questions:

  • Is it values that are shifting or rather value attributions?
  • Which historic, social, political, and economical influences or scientific findings change the societal consensus about what is valuable?
  • What are the processes and dynamics evident in value shifts?
  • How can the tension between individual and societal shifts in values be described?
  • What are the roles taken on by different agents (subjects and objects) and mediating instrumentsin the process of shifting values?
  • How do interest and opinion groups use strategies and instruments to affect a change in values?
  • How are conflicting values being dealt with?
  • Do compromises in value attributions always mean a de-valuation on the one side and an up-valuation on the other or is there scope for a win-win value?
