Workshop 2
The organisation of the world is shifting. The 19th century equilibrium between the world system and the system of nation-states has been profoundly shaken. That undermines the cultural bases for social integration. However, a new geography is developing: the space of flows in the urban network. In that sense urbanity is developing as a postnational culture. How culture can ground social bonding? What (intercultural) practices can help sustainable cultural development in that context?
In this workshop, Eric Corijn, lecturer in Social and Cultural Geography at the Vrije Universiteit in Brussels (VUB), research director at the "Cosmopolis, City, Culture & Society" centre and an expert in European urban development, culture and citizen studies, examines the question of what intercultural practices could encourage a sustainable cultural development in this context.
