Participatory Urbanisms is a peer-reviewed web publication (limited print run) that seeks to interrogate the “participatory turn” in contemporary urban studies and performance studies, to explore the multifarious meanings of ‘part-taking’ or ‘participation’ and its conditions of possibility in making art and politics in urban spaces. As such, we encourage contributions that expand conventional definitions of ‘political participation’, ‘participatory aesthetics’ and ‘urban space.’ We welcome submissions across the fields of urban studies, performance studies, architecture, urban planning, geography, film and media studies, political science, philosophy, art history, sociology and anthropology. By offering distinct views on urban participation, this anthology seeks to illuminate the shifting meanings of ‘urban participation’ and expand knowledge of its praxis in the fields of aesthetics and politics.
