WATERFRONTS OF ART III
Barcelona (Spain), october 2003


Once finished the conference in Lisbon we have to congratulate the organizers for their effort and dedication. It was a success. Near 100 participants. Representatives from Portugal, Spain, France, USA, Australia, Mexico, Canada, U.K., India … .Many new faces. The organization worked to the perfection and we are proud to have facilitated this conference to the Faculdade de Belas Arts in Lisbon.

Now we initiate the organization of the next conference. It will be in Barcelona between end of September and the beginning of October, 2003. We are still outlining the topic of this conference but in the direction that suggests Malcom Miles, that could not be present in this conference in Lisbon, "As to next year - I think the theme needs a lot of refreshing. Debates move on and it needs to do the same […] Actually, that might be a good idea for Barcelona - to link with other disciplines. A lot of critical writing goes on in cultural geography. They like questions like Is it political economy or culture which determine things?"


Calendar
The calendar, nevertheless, is clear enough:

  • November: Launch of the Call for Papers.
  • February: Launching of the organizational logistics and advertisement of the key - note speakers.
  • February: Receipt of papers.
  • April: Communication of the accepted papers.
  • July: Receipt of the complete papers.
