Scope of contributions: We invite original, unpublished proposals that study criticism operations, their different actors and their historically intertwined routes that cross and occur by means of the Atlantic Ocean. Examples: objects in transit; spaces of definition, legitimation and mediation of different cultures of criticism; the proposed agendas and dialogues; and the historiography and the memory of criticism.

​

Discussion axes* (indicative):

 

The transatlantic experience and criticism operation:
This axis invites to discussions on the historicity of architectural criticism in the transatlantic sphere.
Suggested topics: Critics and their trajectories; objects in transit; agendas of criticism construed in transit; spaces of definition and legitimation between different cultures of criticism.

​

The memory of criticism in the transatlantic transit:
This axis stimulates the debate on criticism of architecture and its transatlantic nature as heritage assets.
Suggested topics: Attributed and disputed values; cartographies of involved actors; recognition processes.

​

*Note on the discussion axes: These axes are not the roundtables proposed by the event. They are only indicative paths of the colloquium's interest. The roundtables will be defined once the proposals have been received by the coordination of the event.
