Im Rahmen des Annual Meeting der Association of American Geographers (AAG) im April 2011 in Seattle fanden drei Paper Sessions zum Thema Nightscapes: Geographies of Urban Nights statt. Einige der Paper fanden auch Eingang in die dĂ©rive No. 44 mit dem Titelthema Urban Nightscapes – Die Eroberung der Nacht. Anbei die Vortragstitel der drei Sessions mit Link zu den Abstracts. Stadtnachacht wird versuchen bei weiteren Publikationen von Vorträgen diesen Post zu aktualisieren.
Guter Ăśberblick darĂĽber, wie die internationale (Stadt-)Geographenszene die Thematik Stadt und Nachtleben betrachtet.
»Research of spatial practices in cities, suburbs and beyond tends to concentrate on processes and events during day time; the urban night has been marginalised and underexposed in geographical scholarship. Insofar as urban nights have been examined, attention has been rather selective. Since the 1970s Melbin (1978, 1987) and others have studied the colonisation of the night and the 24/7 city – that is, the overflowing of day time activity, practices and processes into night time. And, in the wake of emerging geographies of consumption, interest has steadily increased in going out and clubbing (Malbon 1999; Hubbard 2005). This is closely related to work on the night-time economy, its contribution to urban revitalisation and such negative externalities as anti-social behaviour and discrimination (Chatterton and Hollands 2003; Talbot 2007; Eldridge and Roberts 2008; Shaw 2010). Overall, however, spatial practices and processes during night time have not been a key research frontier in our discipline…«
